OT: The Latest News On My Health

[chargeroo]

Hello,
With all due respect, I am having a very hard time believing in God. Our daughter was just diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer, in her upper lung, lower back, throat and hip. She is a nonsmoker, 36 years old, married for 3 years and has a two year old son. Why??? she is so kind, considerate, smart, gives back to others that have needs, constantly. I just have a very very hard time believing in God at this point in my life. There is nothing I can do to help but be supportive. I wish i could trade places with her. If there was a god, he/she should take me now, instead of her.

I was married to my first wife for 43 years when she came down with lung cancer. I was depressed and bitter and, I confess that I cussed out God. That was 24 years ago and after some time, I realized she had died much quicker than most of us do when we have lung cancer and I changed my thinking to thank you God that she didn't suffer a lot longer than she did.

I pray that your daughter has a miracle healing but I feel certain that God knows what's best for her. I urge you to make God an even bigger part of your life now and pray often. I also -pray that God will guide you and your entire family through this terrible time in your life.

Im very sorry you are dealing with this. Not sure what to say. I believe in the MOJO here at TPB. We have had quite a few overcome cancer as well as members kids. Might be some power in positive thinking amongst a multitude of people. I wont dump a bucket of God on you. I just pray for healing for your girl and peace for the family. I was suicidal when i first asked God to show me a sign that he existed. And he did. Took me years of fighting it. Pushing back. Telling him to F off if he was even real. But over time i started to see Him working in my life. Doors closing and opening. All of it spiritual type stuff that lead me to absolute peace. And then just a strong desire to live.

Aloha

I'm very, very sorry to read this.
I can only imagine as a father myself.
Sending you and your family my deepest thoughts and hope for a peaceful end.

yup, my mom has had 3 different cancers and beat them all, with no Chemo, and she just turned 80 5 days ago. I myself had a cancerous tumor taken off my liver a year and a half ago, had no idea it was cancerous until after it was removed. go figure. and I have had 3 strokes this year. don't even know why I'm chiming in with all this?

Roo you haven't posted in a couple days. You good brother?

[chargeroo]

i'm doing about as well as can be expected. Friends from my church cam by last Satirday and raked up a ton of leaves for us. On Sunday, after church one pf my best friends came by and we had a couple of hours of discussion about the day's service. On Monday another friend from church came by seeking some guidance regarding his family. Tuesday my hospice nurse came (They are going to start coming 2 days a week now.). Thursday was football day for me. Friday our best friends (also from church) came over and brought us a great dinner. After dinner we sat around the living room gabbing until I fell asleep about four pm. It was a very nice week. They kept me busy, my mind off the chest pains.

Living each day to its fullest... surrounded by friends and family. Way to do it, Roo!
We all hope for your longest, best life, Roo. Maybe a Super Bowl win...? But if not... you're still winning @life!

Roo, glad to hear you have friends to help out and encourage you. There are so many shut-ins in this world with NOBODY to help or to pray for them. My prayers are with you!
