FW: Desperate Plea for Prayer

November 9, 2008

Hello,

I just received this heartbreaking msg. from another group that I'm in and was

hoping someone might be able to give some helpful advice that I might forward on

to this poor family.

I hope someone can provide some insight as to what they can do to hopefully get

rid of this cancer.

Thank you so much for any help you can give.

Love & light,

Tami

Here's the message:

" I'm sorry I have been so quite for so long. Life has been one crazy thing after

another this year.

We are in the middle of a home remodel that is taking more time and money than

we had anticipated. That is OK, we can deal with that. We have moved in with my

husband's wonderful parents at their suggestion. At first I thought that this

would be awful for them. This has actually been a blessing in disguise.

My father in law has been having vision problems for the last couple of months

& had seen the eye doctor 3 different times before they found anything wrong.

They thought that he had a stroke. He had an MRI 2 weeks ago & we found out that

he has a cancerous brain tumor and it is very large! We are all just stunned! We

have gotten 2 other opinions on the MRI and all the doctor's agree that they

think it is Gliblastoma Muliforma. This translates into a death sentence! This

cancer is not curable, you can only postpone the inevitable :< My father in law

() will be having a biopsy of the tumor this Tuesday. I would so value

prayer in our families behalf. Not only that the procedure would go well, but

that the Lord would somehow get us through this time of incredible sorrow.

is only 64 and is quickly becoming a shell of his former self. He has lost a

lot of weight over the last few months. He can now no longer read anymore and he

is an avid reader. He forgets things a minute after you tell him something, but

he knows enough to know that he is dying and not " thinking " correctly. He is

depressed & crying and sleeping most of the day. This is torture for our family

to watch this formerly vibrant & powerful man go downhill so rapidly. Please

pray for us to have the strength to get through this difficult time.

We are praying for a miracle to happen so that we may spread the awesome power

of the Lord!

BIG HUGS!!!!
