Two year ago my only sister was diagnosed with Lymphona. Yesterday, she went for a mammogram, and the doctor told her they found a tumor, a little less than an inch, not a cyst, and from all his experience it is probably cancer. She goes for a biopsy next week. This is the second blow to us and I am struggling with my faith on this one. We were separated for 45 years and she does not live even near me. I am struggling with why God would allow her to find me only to allow this to happen. I just lost my mother about 2 1/2 years ago and now this. She is a confirmed Catholic, but does not practice because of family splits when she was close to her teens. She is very trusting of God’s will though. She attends a nondenominational church.

Please pray that the biopsy will be benign. I am so stressed, I am actually sick. I ask you to pray because God rarely answers my prayers in a positive light.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
Lord, please be with this woman in her hour of need. May it be your will to heal her.

May it also be your will to be with her family throughout all of this… Comfort them and protect them from all anxiety.
 
Lord, please heal Lakotak’s sister in accordance with your holy and perfect will. Grant her peace and strength to carry this cross courageously, patiently and lovingly. Deepen her faith at this time and put it on her heart to will to practice her faith again. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.

Amen.
 
Just to let you know. My sis will undergo a mesectomy on this coming Tuesday. Please pray that they do not find cancer in the lymph nodes in her underarm. Please keep her in your prayers.
 
Thank all of you for your prayers. They have been answered.

My sister is in recovery now and the cancer did not spread to the lymph nodes in her underarm. God has heard all our prayers. Please continue to pray that she will have a speedy recovery.

Well, we thought that we had gotten good news, but that looks like it is not the case. The type of cancer is aggressive. The doctor said this type sends out microscopic cells through out the body. So it could be anywhere at this time. The doctor said that this type is connected with some type of protein that feeds it. They want to put her on an this medication that they have to give every three weeks for a year at the hospital. It is give intravenously at the hospital. The side effects can be nausea and it can effect her heart in some way where they would have to stop it for 3 months. This medication is an alternate to chemo. It targets the protein and kills it. This situation is really not looking good. I guess the only ray of hope, if you want to call it that, is the doctor said the lymphoma is still in remission.

I think today is a cry day for me. I don’t know what else to do at the moment.
 
My prayers for you and your sister after such sad news.
Lord, You know how much this affects te two sisters,
Please grant them strength and consolation.
I trust them both to Your care.
