Prayers requested for my family
 

I've been kinda pretending this isn't happening for the last week, but things are getting worse so I'm asking for prayers.
About 6 months ago my dad went through radiation treatment for cancer in his tonsil. He made a nearly full recovery but about 3 weeks ago he started having a lot of pain in his ribs and lower back. Last week I got a call while on vacation that he is back at M.D. Anderson cancer center in Houston. They found lesions on his ribs, spine, kidneys, liver and stomach.
His prognosis isn't good. In his current health, undergoing further treatment will kill him faster than the cancer will. Within the last week, its gone from 4-6 months to less than a month, possibly less than 2 weeks for him to be with us.

This isn't going well for anyone and I'm asking for prayers for my father and family, this isn't going to be easy for any of us. Reality has set in and there's really no chance of a recovery, so I'm asking for prayers to keep them strong and help us all make it through this. My dad is a great man and has given us all everything he could for as long as we've been around. We are all going to miss him a lot.

Kevin - My 29 year old brother
Casey - My 38 year old sister
Saran - My sister in law
Barbara - My mom
Michael - My dad

Very sorry to hear this. Its tough, but stay positive and think good thoughts.

Thank you so much guys. Things definitely aren't looking well but I know there has to be a higher power holding us together and we've come up with several ideas on how to deal with things.
He also isn't as bad as when we got here. Hopefully with increased care in the next couple days (less resistance from him) we will be able to get him either to my mom's place in CA around all the family or back in his place in MT and get him comfortable.

My father did pass away in the early hours of Saturday morning. Once again, I thank everyone for the prayers for strength, I really feel it has made a difference and my family has been getting along better than I've ever seen. There still is a bit more to be taken care of, but now the climax has been passed and with God's help myself and my family members are keeping our chins up and working through this difficult time together.
Thanks again guys.

praying for you guys to stay strong, i lost my father a few years ago. its not any fun. The lord will take care of you and your family. Im very sorry to hear though.

Sorry to hear your father has passed away. It's good that your family is pulling together and dealing with this hard time together. I lost my dad a few years ago, and it was one of the hardest times of my life. Hang in there, and stay close to the people you care about, and who care about you, it helps in ways you can't even see when you're going thru it.

You and your family are in my prayers!

Sorry to hear that He passed on. Not going to dump a bunch of cliches on you. My prayers are with you and your family. Hold in there and trust in the Lord.
