Please pray for my dad...

My dad's prostate cancer has returned. I went down to Florida on Father's day so that we could have a day of fun before he had a biopsy on Tuesday. We don't have the results yet but we are hoping that the cancer is contained in the prostate so that they can do cryosurgery and just get it out of his body!

I am telling you what, this cancer stuff really stinks! This disease took my grandma from me way too soon, my mom has been through the ringer with it and two of my cousins and two of my uncles have also had a real battle. Oh Lord, please protect and heal my family members and keep them safe.

Pray for Uncle Maynard...

Please pray for my uncle Maynard! About 20 years ago Uncle Maynard had colon cancer with a recurrance about 5 years after that. He's been pretty clean except for an occasional benign polyp for the last 15 years. When they did his routine colonoscopy a couple of months ago there was a malignant polyp so they had to go in there and take another portion of his colon out.

The surgery was a week ago and he has had a really rough time of it. The surgery ended up being much more involved than they expected it to be. When I spoke with Aunt Betty yesterday she said that he was a bit discouraged but was doing much better than he had been doing. He is in the hospital longer than he had anticipated being there.

Please pray for a miraculous turn around so he can get home soon.
