Thank you I hope you didn't mind me asking, are they treating with chemo?

I know how confusing it can be when so much info is being thrown around.
I will be praying for you both.

It's OK you asking we did not hear anything from the hospital for a full week, and Rod wanted to get Away. We are both having a two day break.

After your break/honeymoon, do call the doctor. He/she is still responsible with telling you what happens next. And, truthfully, sometimes they just let the paperwork fall through the cracks and then forget.

The break/honeymoon is a great idea.

I sound OK but it's a real fear of Rods illness, he's in pain now, but I know he's fighting it. Once we are back home the hospital night mare begins. Rod knows he dying. He is so as I am in absolute turmoil. He's even saying that chemo will make him worse.

I've read the prayers and I agree.
Lord, help Happy as much as she calls for help for her husband.
What he is physically, she is emotionally.
And they both need only what you can give.
Lord, help Rod and Happy.
In Jesus' name, amen.

Have you listen to yourself lately happy? Guess you got it all figured out rods dying, treatment will be worse. Guess nothing left to do but pick out a resting place and casket.
This is why I am so glad of Jesus's faithfulness to us. You through all this chaos cannot see the Lord working can you?
Sorry to be so blunt sis but I know that fear, I know that dark place, I know that helplessness, I lived it too.
Rise up and have faith, both of you. You have a God of the impossible.
Don't let this illness defeat you. Don't let it Rob your joy and rest. I'm not saying pretend it's nothing but what I am saying that no one leaves this earth until the Lord says so. Regardless of what they say it is. This my friend is your giant pick up that rock and aim.

I do have faith but not only has my husband had several health issues including a stroke etc he's tired mentally. He knows he's got issues with his tummy he's in pain its spreading. I can't make him stop talking about his health declining nor can I make him feel positive. That's his choice. Its heartbreaking and pain and truth hurts. Yes he's been on his hands and knees to God but Rod like me can't get over it.its easy to preach but its hard to console someone that's is in turmoil.

He's been in quite abit of pain for several days now. Im worried it may of spread to his liver. Sorry its not a rosy story but life sucks. He's even said if he can't cope with the pain he will kill himself. That's how it affects him.

I was given this same message about Mom when I was 16. She would be healed "if I had enough faith." Fortunately, for those who told me this lie, when she died I was whisked off 1500 miles away.

You know what you get if you prepare for death, and find out God dies a miracle? Happy, happy happy with God for the longest time.

You know what you get if you prepare for life and death comes? Anger at God.

I am still very happy God gave you life. I wish you'd accept that as a miracle instead of an expectation of what God must do every time.

Here's a plan. If all it takes is faith, you have faith for Happy and Rod. And then, if you're right, you can gloat, and they can laugh. But if you're wrong, at least she doesn't have to get mad at God, instead of you.

The only way you sound okay is because you sound like exactly what you're supposed to sound like. Scared, hate that he hurts and you can't make it go away, afraid he'll die on you, frantic that maybe if... and then if, and then more if, and wondering how all this can be God's will. I do remember being in your shoes. I do hurt for you. I wish I could tell you everything will be fine as in life gets easier. We both know it doesn't. But that's when to trust God more, because he is our strength even when we are utterly depleted.

God is holding you both.

As for chemo? Make sure the doctors tell you both what to expect. Until you know all the facts, there is no way to make that decision.

You of all people should know where I'm coming from sis. We both walked this path, hurting my feelings doesn't help anything. I don't preach that lack of faith crap and have many post to prove it. Having faith in the Lord regardless of what you think is happening. Looking for him to comfort, strengthen, console, bring peace, understanding, and yes healing if he wills is what to strive for. What I have read are minds made up. Decisions to be made. Maybe I'm reading this wrong but fear has a great grip on this situation. .....

Happy....you and rod have my prayers and thoughts........Will not post again.......peace.

I did not mean to hurt your feelings. I know how hard this is. People telling you that God will do the miracle for your love one is so easy to do, until/if that's not what happens. Faith is in God's will, not in what we want.

Rod may have to wait longer, its like they cant see him getting worse, its awful.He may have to have a camera up his back passage and also down his throat. Rod keeps talking of suicide. He feels he will have all this trauma with more investigations and then chemo. I feel powerless to help him. I'm praying everyday , when ever he talks about his life ending it himself if things get worse. I see a photo I took and he looks so poorly. He is so brave.

I really feel my thyroid is getting to me, rods so argumentative I can't please him. I'm tired in my head. I'm a plodder, he just can be so angry and thinks he knows me. I feel like I can't please him ever and he says awful remarks, because we slept longer this morning he's now saying its to late to go to Wales. I feel I'm so tired, under active thyroid in stressed situations doesn't help. I'm no good for anyone.

You won't do Rod any good if you get sick also. Try not to worry, let God do that.

Thank you for your reply. I know im not myself due to Rods illness. He really is tired sleeping so much, he asks me questions about his face sinking in, they are hard to answer. He keeps getting really upset and angry about anyone notice his weight loss. I'm lost for words. I try not to get in argument with him. Its the most cruel illness.
