Cancer – Prayer Request
Yesterday my brother-in-law was diagnosed with extensive prostate cancer. Having found 3 separate ‘types’ of cancer in his biopsies, they found that on a scale of 1 – 5 with 1 being least invasive and 5 being the most aggressive, two of the cancers were rated a 3, one a 4. The doctor recommended the immediate removal of the entire prostate, and while they are doing that they’ll check and see if it has spread – lymph node biopsies etc.
Living in Canada, hospital waiting lists can be somewhat long. He needs to be transferred to a specialist in the big city, who’ll then book a surgery for him. His urologist recommended immediate removal, but chances are he won’t receive surgery until sometime next year. He and my sister have a 2 year old son. Prayers for surgery to be quickly scheduled, peace of mind for both he and my sister, and health for him are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I’m so sorry to hear that I’m sending prayers for you and your family!
