I am very very sorry.
I have had a couple of friends who lost the battle of cancer and it is not easy to those who loves them. It takes a lot of courage, support and most of all prayers to help you through this time in your life. I know that if any of my immediate family ever have this sickness, my heart would surely be broken. We may not know each other but I will keep you, your wife and your whole family in my prayers. please if you should need someone to talk to, email me. riddler |

Die-Hard,
I am so sorry to hear about your wife's illness. I know how difficult it must be for all of you. I also know how difficult it must have been for you to make that post. When I read the news I immediately said a prayer for you and your family. If you want, e-mail me her name, or post it here and I'll put her on a prayer list by name. I'm sure that her illness has touched the hearts of all on this board. People don't always know what to say at times like this, so it will probably be hard for them to answer you. That doesn't mean they don't care. [url][email protected][/url] |

Isn't there something that can be done? It may be too soon to give up all hope.
Stuff like this makes things seem so unimportant and so important all at the same time. I don't know your situation but be strong, explore your options, and stay strong (try to eat & sleep properly). |

I'm sorry about the new's, my prayer's to your wife and family.
I have cancer also (a form of Lukemia). The doctor's had told me that I would not make it and it looked very bad. That was 5 years ago! At first I was treated with Chemotherapy and the last time it returned, my treatment was based on (now git this y'all, big words coming) "Monoclonal Nuclaic Anti-body Therapy". New treaments are coming out all the time. Don't give up Hope! Feel free to e-mail me if you want to. |

I'm also very sorry for your wife, your son, you, and the rest of your family. Please know my prayers are for you all. The good Lord never burdens us with more than we can bear! Keep faith and hope! Now is the time for you(And the rest of us) to do the things with your family that you have been putting off for a better time. Love each other and be strong for each other. Be proactive and fight this disease, because God helps those who help themselves, and a winning attitude is just that.
Keep us imformed, and use us as the place to vent your frustrations. After all, thats what friends are for. God Bless. Semper Fi |

My sincerest concerns and prayers are with both you and your family.
Don't give up hope, there are various Chemo mixtures that are tailored for specific cancers. Also find the leading specialist or hospital for advice, that can be conveyed to your hospital. |

My heart goes out to you and your wife. I know that it feels like you have been beaten senseless. Try to keep a positive attitude no matter what the outcome as it will keep your spirits higher. Don't be afraid to try natural/alternative approaches to fighting the cancer. If nothing else they can give you hope when no doctor's may. And don't forget that Doctor's can only give you their best guess at what outcome will eventually take place. They only know statistics, not how your wifes willpower and determination can beat this stuff. I don't want to give you false hope but I believe attitude is the biggest part of the battle. I will pray for you. God Bless.

i am very sorry to hear your bad news. i feel your pain, my wife was diagnosed with cancer right after my second son was born. it was the second type of cancer she has had. i also lived the enormous emotional and physical strain that occures in a household with cancer and a new baby. you and your wife need to be close with god and to pray for strength and acceptance. this is something you dont have to go through alone. god bless

Jerry...we will pray for you and Imelda...I will also pass along prayer request to others. I urge you to look into possible treatment at MD Anderson which I believe is in Houston, TX. If your current doctor will not refer you...find one that will. Most major airlines will give a discount rate to go there. Anderson gave our neighbor an extra 20 years when local doctors said nothing could be done. They are a research center.

Very sorry for all you guys with problems way larger than mine.
Die-Hard I held my Dads hand as he took his last breath not too long ago. Prostate Cancer. I can only hope and pray for your familly. If you need some help with cash, feel free to e-mail me. I dont have much, but the offer is valid. Dont let pride keep you from reaching out and asking. I already offered it. It maybe a small amount but I know every little bit counts. I`ll mention this to my mother, she is in a prayer network that has seen some real results. Very tough. |

Die-Hard, I know the agony you and your family are enduring. I lost my mother to a partictularly malignant brain tumor 20 yrs. ago this June 7th. Mom fought with all her might and submitted to experimental chemo. treatments as the surgery was only partially successful. She held on for 18 months longer then any of the docs. gave her. A large part of beating cancer is attitude and PRAYER. You can beat it or it can beat you. Believe me friend, your wife is most definitly in my prayers. The Lord will comfort you if you ask.

I'm very sorry to hear about your wife's illness. My heart goes out to you and you family and you'll all be in my prayers. Please don't give up hope, one of my good friend's mother has bone cancer and has had it for a few years. The doctors keep "writing her off" but she's still going strong today. God bless you and your loved ones. BMAN |

I can feel this, man.
Last April, my wife (33 years old) was diagnosed with cancer. fortunately, it was a mostly curable form of lymphoma. right now she's in remission, thank God in heaven. I'm sure your head is probably spinning right now. for me personally, I can tell you it was my faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ that kept me sane. We all have to make our own decisions about what we believe about God, why He allows these things, and such. I'll leave it at this - if you have questions in that arena, or just need to spout, I'm here. Often in my life I've felt like I was born at the wrong time. I' ve felt I was born to be involved in something great, some great cause, some heroic action. NOT that I would be the hero, but that I would be involved in something bigger than myself. The Normandy invasion has often come to mind, as I enjoy studying the history and heroics of that fateful day. But I came to this conclusion - while I may never charge the beaches, or throw the winning touchdown pass, or be awarded a gold medal, I was gonna be my wifes hero. I was gonna be there for her, carry her thru, no matter the outcome, be who and what she needs, and sacrifice myself for something greater, her peace and comfort, to the extent that I could. this is your chance to be a hero. We at AR15.com all know you can do it. Suffering is a human condition. feel free to use us all as a resource. You'll both be in our thoughts, and prayers. Mark K. |

Die Hard,
What you are dealing with is the hardest thing to do. I lost my friend of 12 years to brain cancer last Nov. Unfortunately these thing happen and we have no control over this. God does not do this to us but he does let these things happen. Being he is in control of the universe everything has to conform to his will. The God of Abraham,Isac and jacob loves you,your wife and all the people of this world beyond our comprehension. He loves us so much he humbled himself to take the form of a man and die on the cross for all mankind. So I say as a christian gunner, read your wife the gospel of John and while you are reading this ask the Lord Jesus to fill you with his peace and give you strength to get through this. May the Lord bless you and your household and may your wife get well in Jesus name I pray. Lougotzz |

Die-hard, I kinda misted up reading your news. My sister passed away Jan. 28 from a malignant Glieoma(sp?)(virulant braincancer) diagnosed this past Oct. I don't pray much guy, but I will be for you, your wife and son. My sisters kiddos are pretty much grown, and I don't believe she fought it as much as possible, but she "didn't want to hurt". As stated above, attitude is important, and miracles do happen. Hold her tight and let her know whatever happens, you love her and will be with her. Also, check for information on "Gamma Knife" rad. and proton rad. treatment on the web. ed

GOD bless.

Die-Hard, I've been trying to avoid this topic, but I guess it's time for me to say a little something. A year ago this month my Grandfather passed after a battle with cancer, this is the man that taught me to fish, and hunt. He taught me about some of the things that I enjoy most in life, and it was very hard to lose him. I pray you and your wife will have a change of luck for the better. God Bless.

My thoughts and prayers are with you as well. I pray that you and your wife have as much quality time together as possible. I think that the most important thing that you can do is to be there for her, and I admire you for that. I also pray that she is comfortable and is receiving the best medical care possible.
For me, this is one of the toughest things that I have encountered in medicine. I often wonder why such bad things have to happen to such good people. I don't know that there is any answer, except to know that God has a plan for each of us, and that in the end it will all work out. I'm sure the same goes for the rest of the folks on the board, but if there is anything I can do to help, let me know. |

posts half teary eyed it says something. Many anti-gun Americans throw us all into one pile of pyscho killers(for lack of a better term). Anyone reading these posts would have to be touched by how much a bunch of people from all over the country with a common interest can care about someone they have never met in person. We are not as cold blooded as made out to be. GOD bless your whole family and give you strength. Dennis. |
