Heavenly Father we thank you for all the grace and mercy you have shown to us. We ask you for more for Rod, please make your presence real to him and to Happy, please intervene in this situation and heal Rod.

I am a cancer survivor, went through chemo and radiation. No need to fear the Lord is with you. Tell rod to come out of that black hole he's in. Fear does some crazy things to a person. Rest in Christ work trust in the Lord. Your on a journey like never before. I don't know the Lord's will in this matter but I do know he is good. Trust him surrender to him. He will be with you every step of the way. Jesus loves you. Don't tell God how big your troubles are but tell your troubles how big your God is. I was so scared after learning about my cancer I couldn't even tell anyone without breaking down.
Then I said with as much courage as I could muster....they will be done. A peace like never before came over me I ate and sleeper that night. After treatment the surgeon went in to cut the tumor out...it was gone...obliterated...I'm 2 yrs. clean. But the Lord had me go through the process for what ever reason....I will never be the same....I am closer with him now than ever before. I've learned so much and saw his hand in mine all the way. You have my prayers and thoughts....if I can do it right let me give you the song the Lord gave me ...

Thanks but I know Rod illness is to far gone. It's spreading as we speak. I don't know how he's coping. The hospital haven't even rang us this week, and I think they are just not bothered. Rod told me he's prayed on his knees and asked God to give him more time. They said operating isn't a option. What a lonely place for Rod. I'm upset.
Happyface, if our beloved brother Rod has bowed down to Jesus the Son of God, trusting in Him to save him from his sin, he is never alone, nor will he be. If you are questioning his faith, today is the day of salvation. Seriously, if he is a child of God (and I would think he is), he has nothing to fear. I would also add that many of us are praying for complete healing in his body. Still praying and praying, thank you for the updates happyface. Try to smile.
Thank you didymus, When we pray i m hoping God hears our cries. It comes over Rod every now and again a feeling he will die. Its alarming for him. He feels he has to fit everything in like going to places before he takes really poorly.
I know that fear and pain are not good things, but knowing that time is short and precious is a good thing. It is true for all of us.
I am praying for both of you. Salvation, peace, and assurance,
oyster67.
Happy, he's dying. If he wants to do what he wants, let him. Keeping him laying down and quiet won't do him any good.. Don't coddle him, but don't treat him like an invalid, either. I imagine that wanting to be all over the place doing things probably keeps his mind off the pain somewhat.. Stop worrying. Let God do that.

happyface, your pain is so transparent, I don't have any words of comfort to say, but Ladyblue, is right on the money. I'm sure he has given you a lot of love, and sometimes we feel a little selfish to let go, and he will be in a place without any tears, fears, or pain. Having a day less without your love, won't darken your spirit, it shouldn't you see how your loved here, and hold onto seeing him again.Happy, he's dying. If he wants to do what he wants, let him.

I'm sorry......that you feel that way. It's not the God I serve. Nothing is impossible for him. Ill keep on praying that the Lord who is fully capable of healing restores his health back. Could give squat on what the hospital says.
Now you can sit there and wait for death but I will sit and wait for a miracle. Sorry to be so blunt but God does have the reputation of the 11th hour God.
Amen. I like the God you serve. He is the big One. He is the real One. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We can pray the prayer of "Thy will be done..." with confidence that He loves us and knows what is the very best for us. He does command us to pray for the sick and dying. It gave me such peace to be able to pray for my dying mother and father. I knew that I had done all that I could do, and I knew that I had done all that the Lord desired me to do. He did heal them, and He also took them to a much better place. He is wise and good; all the time, every time.

Happy I hope you don't mind me asking, what has Rod been diagnosed with
specifically. Your last posts said something about appendicitis, then lung cancer,
then that no cancer was found in the lungs, but some nodules found in the stomach?
But then you referred to cancer spreading.
I just wondered as it would be good to pray for you and Rod about his specific
diagnoses. Or is it that the hospital keep saying it could be this or that but
they are not sure yet?

It sounds like it was lung cancer, but the lung cancer might not have been the primary site. And they found nodules in his stomach, which, since he's not eating and has stomach pain, indicates Stage 3 or 4 stomach cancer. Add to that his appendix is a problem.
Doctors jam all sorts of shocking info at us in short periods of time, and while we're in shock not quite knowing what they said or even to figure out how to ask them questions, they're gone before the question is formed. Repeat this several times, and all that is left is complete confusion along with a very-likely-right conclusion. If they aren't telling him what to do next, it is very likely there is no good next to do.
Happy, Read Hebrews 11. Remember it is the things God promised us that is our hope, not what we want for ourselves. You and Rod are on a very rough road. You married because you knew it was time, and it is time. Use this time wisely. And, please, please remember, THIS LIFE ISN'T OUR HOPE! This life is the road to our hope. God is our hope. Eternity to worship and enjoy him for ever is the goal. It looks like Rod gets the goal before you, but enjoy your time together as much as possible. We were never guaranteed how long we get with our loved ones. Since you are both believers, this isn't an ending. It's a beginning, that will hurt so much, but we are also promised no sorrows and tears in that next life. Rod gets that first, but it is promised to you too.
I suspect I will have to keep reading Hebrews 11, when I hit where you are now, so I give it to you because you need it now.
They found cancer just by sheer investigation of the appendix. In his tummy and lung its advanced and he's in pain.
