Those of you that follow this thread may remember my 12 year old son who had the tumor removed from his brain stem the day after Christmas. He has been home now for almost 3 weeks and is getting radiation treatments every day in Bloomington. We are having a hard time with his feedings (G tube) finding a formula that doesn't make him sick and throw up. We are concerned that he may not be getting enough liquids as well as nutrition. None of us want him to end up back in the hospital where he has already spent 48 days. Please continue to pray for his recovery and a solution to the feeding problem.

Also pray for mom and dad, it's wearing us out too.

Thumbing around the site and saw this. My family is in need.
Let me make a very long and hard story short.
Late last year my uncle, 56 years old, was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cell carcinoma spreading to lymphnodes, soft tissues, liver, and spleen. It has already been a long and strenous fight, and I fear he is losing his battle.
At the begining of this month, at the age of 56, and one day before her youngest grandchilds first birthday, my mother was diagnosed with stage 3b breast cancer, spreading to lymphnodes, axilary, flank, and thorasic cavity.
Here is the really sad part, my father is a pastor at a small local church. They both have always put themselves last to ensure others were taken care of. Dad never pastored for the money, he always said "It's not about the money, it's about fullfilling my calling from God, I'd do it for free if I had to."
Last year my mom and dad brought in about $24,000 in income. No 401k, no retirement, and NO HEALTH INSURANCE.
My mother is now faced with the hardships of cancer, both emotionaly and financialy. I have been doing what I can to ensure that she doesn't have to make the decision to go to treatments, or put food on the table.
I have set up fund raising funds, to allow others who want to donate the opertunity to donate thru their bank, money order, check, and paypal. I am not going to use this thread as a fund raiser, but If anyone is intrested in this you can pm me for info. But money is not their major need. They are in need of prayer.
Please keep my mother and uncle in prayer, I want my mother to see her grandkids grow up.
I need prayers for my brother. He's in Japan and got sick recently and isn't doing very well. Pray for good doctors and healing overall. He gets fatigued very quickly and shortness of breath. He went in to the hospital last night and they have him on Oxygen and going for a CT Scan soon.
Thanks!
So apparently is somewhat serious but nobody is saying anything and he's asked my Mom to fly over. So, lot of prayers would be greatly appreciated.
Been busy and have not been on here too much of late. However, I have not forgotten about your family. Please remember, you continue to be in my prayers - for your son and his concerns and also for Mom & Dad. I know it is tough on families, too. Hold tight to each other and your faith - 'Grace is given when grace is required'.Those of you that follow this thread may remember my 12 year old son who had the tumor removed from his brain stem the day after Christmas.

Praying for your family as well. Thanks for the update.Update: mom has been told her cancer is very agressive, my uncle has stopped responding to treatments all together. God has provided food so far, and they have not gone hungry. Mom has filed for Medicaid, but is waiting for approval.
Thanks for all the prayers so far, please, please, keep them in prayer.
