Two posts in one morning! I hope you’ll forgive me, but I need—need!—to give you a quick update on my dear daddy because he’s having surgery tomorrow. Please, please keep him in your prayers. Of all the options the team of doctors gave him—chemotherapy, radiation, surgery—this one is the fastest and (hopefully? Please God?) best option for my beloved papa.
For the record, he has breast cancer. The lump that was biopsied was taken from his left nipple and the surgery tomorrow will remove (hopefully? Please God?) the rest of the cancerous cells.
When the doctor told him the statistics—that “only one out of a hundred breast cancer patients are men”—my dad remarked, in his typically dry fashion, “Well, lucky me.”
Lucky us, I say. Every day that I have with my daddy’s a gift.
Please pray!
I am so much hoping the surgery removes all disease. Prayers for your family.
Thank you, dear faraway friend!
Oh Margaret…be assured of my prayers for your dad…and you! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to pray for him! I wish I lived closer to you, to help you out some. May you and your family be blessed with God's peace!
Oh Nancy, thank you. I wish you lived closer too.♥
I am praying for your dad, Margaret! I meant to ask you about him on Tuesday, and I forgot. I am sorry! May the Divine Physician guide the surgeon's hand to remove ALL of the cancerous cells, and may the Lord bless your dad with a full recovery. May He give you and your family peace, as you place all your trust in Him.
No worries, Sarah! And thank you for that beautiful prayer.
Praying for your dad. AND you and your family also. biggest hugs evah.
You always make me smile, Christine. Thank you!
Prayers for all of you, especially tomorrow – the octave day of the Feast of the Sacred Heart!
What a dear, dear Daddy. His 'lucky me' remark reminds me once again of mine. And wonderful picture!
What a consolation, Kimberlee! And today the feast of our much-loved St. Tony. : )
PS. Also? I think your daddy must be pretty great to have given a gal like you "to" us.
I'm praying! My family will be hitting the road for vacation tomorrow. It's a long ride. Lots of time for multiple rosaries for your dad.
We will take as many rosaries as you can spare, Janine! We will keep your family in our intentions as well. Thank you. ♥
praying!!
Rest assured, your dear daddy (and all of your family) will be in my prayers. Sending lots of love and {{hugs}}.
Thank you so much for the update…I've been thinking about him. Please continue to post updates and prayers are being sent!
I will be praying for your dear Dad. You know I will be.:) I'll also ask for some special spiritual help from my "sources" up above that they watch over him tomorrow.:)
I am offering up sacrifices and prayers for your dad and will continue to do so as long as you need them. My 2nd cousin, Rob, was diagnosed with breast cancer at 59. That was 8 years ago and he's doing great. I pray that our Lord and his Blessed Mother also give your family peace and strength.
My prayers for good health and healing.
Praying for you all.
Will keep him in my prayers.
Praying….
