Prayers please!
I hesitate to post about this, but as it is bigger than me I must turn it over to God and my prayerful friends. This week my father-in-law was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Unfortunately, he had put off, for several years, getting a biopsy as he has had elevated PSA levels for some time now. Fortunately, at this point treatment doesn't include chemo, only radiation for about 6 months which will be limiting their travelling after the Colorado trip. Surgery is an option, but with T's history of reaction to surgery they doctors suggested forgoing this option at this point. This is very treatable and I pray for healing, but I also pray that T will be a bit less stubborn and go see the doctor when he has to. He is never good about that. This is a man that walked around having chest pains for 2 weeks before going to the ER. B is frustrated I think being so far away, but even when we lived in town we did not have much influence on getting the man to the doctor. He is also concerned for his own health considering his family history. I said that he just needs to do his best about taking care of himself, eat well, exercise, rest, and see the doctor on a regular basis. Anyway, that is enough of a downer for today. Later.

Many prayers. My father-in-law did went through the same thing several years ago.
Brian and I will be praying for you guys. I am not sure if you know this or not, but Brian's dad also has prostate cancer. But since his heart is still not strong enough, they are having to wait for treatment.
