Mom has cancer.

My mother has been in the hospital with a blockage and tonight I found out they had to remove part of her colon. The doctors say it looks like colon cancer. Asking for a few prayers.

Thanks guys.

Sorry to hear about your Mom, Rick!

God bless! :engel016:

So sorry for your Mom and yourself, Rick. I know exactly how you must feel I'm afraid......
 
Thanks folks, and her name is Wanda.

She is pushing 70 and has had three husbands and ex-husbands die in the last few years and lots of problems with some of my sisters. I am afraid she has just given up the fight.

Right now I am so pissed I want to go up there and start turning sisters over my knee and start spanking butts until they stop all the bickering or I cause them brain damage. Whichever comes first. And if I was not still recovering from surgery I would be headed that way right now.
 
Dang Rick that is tough, especially family bickering. My Dad just came out of the hospital last week. This time he was sent home to die. He didn't want to die in the hospital. He has fought cancer, heart issues, brain tumor, stroke, etc for 20 years. The cardiologists this time say he only has 30% left in his heart functon.

He is 80 and you would think it would be easier since someone has led a full life to let go. He and I have never been close but he's my dad and it's hard to let go. I have been a praying fool for the last 20 years, since his first heart attack. At least I have had those 20 years of keeping my Dad after they said he would likely die on the table 20 years ago. Prayer works, I have no doubt. I have seen too many things that can't be explained. We are all gonna die of something, it is the cycle of life, but it sure is nice to have our parents as long as possible. Hang tough Amigo, you have my prayers

Rick, our thought and prayers are with you and your family....hope all goes well...Mike
 
God Bless your Mom and your family and you Rick.Unfortunately I know what you are going through. I lost both my brothers when they were young in life(18 Y/O and 18 mos)due to illness . I was blessed to have had my Mom and Dad well into their 80's until they passed .

Added to my ever growing prayer circle....

Its a rough time to say the least... Been through it myself...


And for Ted too, prayers are outpouring from Statesville and across the world for your dad too !
 
So sorry to hear that Rick, will surely add her to my prayers.
Hang in there the best you can. I too have been through this with loved ones before.
 
Thanks again folks.

I will not get a chance to see her until this weekend, but I will let her know about all the support.
 
Sad news indeed Rick! I am so sorry!

I will be praying for Mom Wanda-

As for you, please stay strong and positive! Many blessings your way~
 
Add my prayers too Rick. Very sorry to hear this.

I pray she fully recovers. Through God, all things are possible.

I hope they wipe out cancer in the next several months.


Ted,

Im sorry to hear about your dad. I hope he makes it through Christmas and then some..

You have mine as well, Rick.
Never a good time not to pray...
never a good time to stop praying...
& listening is the lion's share of it.
Interpretations are stronger than
any words at times, when the loudness
of mind is quieted to listen to the soft
impressions coming to our hearts. May
your mom know healing as well as cure.
