OT Prayer Request - 7/10/2008 1:31:14 AM

Status: offline 		Let me preface this by stating that I'm a musician, and played bass guitar in a band for over 20 years. I inherited my talent from my dad's side of the family. Dad's youngest brother, who plays guitar and is an electronics whiz, has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. It has already spread to his lungs, and he will soon start undergoing chemotherapy.

An older uncle, Harvey, was cured of cancer, and is now enjoying his retirement years. I'm hoping that Uncle Denver (nicknamed "Duke") can do the same. Duke helped inspire me when I was a kid in the '60s, turning me on to his Elvis records, which he had transferred to reel-to-reel tape. Listening to that music, on old headphones, transformed me.

I hope you guys will support him with your prayers and best wishes.

Thank you.

Regards to all,
Glenn

Keep us informed, will you? Hoping for good news all the way fer yer Unk.

Give him a hug for me!

Sure thing. My dad got cured from cancer some thirty years ago, he's dead now but it bought him an extra 25 years of life. Yeah you can bet you know how to pray again when trouble comes.

Best wishes to you.

Josh

Status: offline 		I lost my Grandfather to cancer and had quite a scare with my mother (who is doing great now), so I will certainly send my best prayers and thoughts to your uncle. My wife does Reiki as well, and I will have her send some distance Reiki to him!

Tell him that we are all thinking about him, perfect strangers who care about his health and well-being because all life is sacred.

My thoughts to you, your family, and your uncle!

Status: offline 		I thank you all for your responses, but here's the prognosis: it's incurable. The cancer has already spread too far. It's in his lungs and other areas. It's only a matter of time. The only thing left to do is prepare for the inevitable.

Status: offline 		Sad news, but perhaps trying to accentuate the positive aspect of the life he still has left is the best route. Miracles do occur, and medical science is an imperfect science. Even so, he should do what we all should do and live each day for today, do the things he never had a chance to do or the things that he kept putting off. I'll still think about him and send him all the good vibes/prayers I can, now more that he makes this next transition in a manner that he can feel satisfied and content with.

Status: offline 		Thanks, guys. I've fought back shedding tears all this time, but they will come. To me, he remains as the young man I once knew. He never turned into an "old guy", and to see him taken away in this fashion, even with all of the modern medical advances, is a tragedy that really hasn't hit just yet. I'm tearing up as I write this, so I'm moving out of the "denial" phase. My dear Aunt Jackie is a sweet woman, who has gone through hell, but has remained strong. I gotta get my grief out before I see her at the funeral, and try to be strong WITH her. Same goes for Duke's daughters and his grandchildren.

I apologize for babbling, but this one is going to be tough to get through.
