please pray for my dad and my family

[bigdsooner]

his dr called him this morning and told him that he has a very high grade prostate cancer, all 12 samples came back positive. right now his docs main worry is that it has spread elsewhere. at his next appt they will tell him if it has and what kinda treatments are available, he doesnt want to tell my older brother or sister until then, but he told me and my twin brother today, ive been talking to him all night about and he seems to be taking it pretty well but his biggest concern right now is telling my bro and sis. i know there are lots of different treatments but im really scared. ive dealt with lots of issues in life but i was nowhere ready to deal with this. he's retired and he's lived with my family for the last year and has a strong bond with my kids. so please keep us in your prayers.

thanks in advance

[birddog]

[BoogercountySooner]

Prayin for ya and your dad BigD!

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

Done.

[SCOUT]

You are in my prayers as well.

We live in the burbs of Big D too. If there is something we can do to help just say the word. I know it isn't a big deal but having something like dinner made for you just takes one more thing off the list of things to do. I would be happy to help if I can.

[proud gonzo]

This prostate cancer lately almost seems like it has become an epidemic.
It's amazing how many people I know with this!

BigD-We found out last week my dad's cancer has spread to his liver and to his brain. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to face. It's tough. Just know that so many people are here for you and we are in this together.

Good call SBSB. Prayers and best wishes for your dad as well.

I have been so fortunate that my parents, both in their mid 70's, have been blessed with good health to this point. I fear the day that the phone rings and I find out that something bad has happened, or that one of them has a serious illness.

Life is tough sometimes guys. It's horrible loosing someone you love. I lost my dad several years ago to Alzheimer's complications. There is nothing you can say or do to make the pain any less miserable. Just keep your faith in God. That's all I can offer. It is the best answer. This is God's ballgame and we are not at all in control. He calls the shots, and we may not understand it, but it is his will. Just never lose your faith. We are all going "home" sometime, this may just be their time. I will certainly keep your family in my thoughts and prayers - whatever the outcome - know it is God's will and it is right. I pray for God's comfort and grace for your family.

sbsb, im so sorry to hear about your dads latest news, we will continue to keep him and your family in our prayers. my dad had his bone scan last week and we didnt hear anything from the doc until today, so we were pretty encouraged because we were thinking that if it was bad they wouda been on the phone asap to let him know, cause they said they would call him last monday to give him the results. when he called me today at work and told me that it was throughout his bones and in his skull, it really shook me up, i could tell in his voice that it was tearing him up, but i couldnt do or say anything to help him. on top of being scared as hell of losing one of my parents, im in a helpless situation.

i cant say thank you enough to everyone whos praying for him, but it means so much.

That says it perfectly. Prayers for you & your family, bigd.

[bigdsooner]

we got good news/bad news yesterday at my dads appointment, he has terminal cancer. but the doc said that he does have some time, he just doesnt know how much. because of the aggressiveness of this cancer and it spreading to his bones, he said that chemo would do no good. so it looks like my dad is gonna have to start taking hormone pills to stop his testasterone production. the doc said that this has shown some pretty good results for men with this type of cancer as far as slowing it down, but it does have some pretty bad side affects in some people. he also said that if he didnt take the pills that he would be lucky to live 2 years at this rate. so they'll just continue to monitor it and see what happens.
thanks for all the prayers, please continue.

[OCUDad]

The only upside to this is knowing you still have some quality time left with your Dad. Make the most of it. Prayers and good thoughts to your family.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

prayers still w. ya!
