Quoted:
Prayers sent. Isaiah 41:10Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.Joshua 1:9Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”Prayers sent OP. For you, your family, and the surgeons/staff. These two versus have gotten me through many hard times. May they comfort your soul and ease your fears. (Edit: Page 3 ownage. Hope I can lighten your mood by adding a bit of GD fun....  )

That's a tough row to hoe, but it's good that there's work to be done.
It always helps me to remember that someone else is pushing through worse than myself. I just lost my colon had my small intestines reconnected so I could use the toilet like a normal person. Yours makes mine sound easy. I'll be looking for updates. You don't know me from Adam, but I've been keeping my eye out for your updates and been hoping for the best. Lots of other folks are the same way. |

So I just wrote a letter to my future son. I am still crying. My God I hope he never has to read it.  It will be ok. Let's think positive and sometime in the distant future when times are hard, bring the letter out and the two of you read it together. The year my wife was in treatment I had to learn to let go of things I could not control. You have done all you can. With a strong heart and spirit go into surgery tomorrow. Just make sure you remember all the good stories to tell us about later. |

My original thread went to archives: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1828357_I_found_out_today_I_have_cancer___UPDATE_in_OP_3_10_16.html So tomorrow is the big day. Surgery to remove my pancreatic tumor. If you wouldn't mind sending a prayer up to our good Lord asking for his healing power to work through my surgeon's hands I would greatly appreciate it. It is going to be a fairly complicated surgery. They are going to remove my gall bladder, 1/2 of my stomach, part of my small intestine and about 2/3 of my pancreas. Then re-plumb everything back together. I will be in the hospital for at least a week, so at least I will get to catch up on ARFCOM.
Thanks for all of your prayers and well wises to this point. The surgery is the halfway mark with 3 months of chemo to follow. I have never been so excited and scared at the same time. Talk to you guys after....... May the Lord be with you and yours. |
