Prayer Request!

My mom, Penny, has just been diagnosed with cancer, we are waiting on biopsies to determine what kind. She has a large mass, in her uterus. The mass is choking off the ureture(-sorry about not sure about spelling, but they are the tubes from kidneys to bladder). The doctors do not believe that they can do surgery because of this causing damage to the kidneys.
They will be starting radiation, as soon as possible,but that won't be for a couple of days yet.
I am asking for your help in praying and asking that the Lord shrinks this tumor away from the kidneys.

Oh, darlin'. I'm so very sorry. I wish I could make it all better. I hate and fear cancer. I'll have her in my thoughts and prayers and hope she makes it through. And that you do, too. *Hugs*

I wish there was something I could say that would help. You and your mom are in my prayers and in my heart, and I hope that she will be just fine. Huge, huge hugs.

I believe that God is just as strong today as ever if you'll just believe, and THANK GOD we live today in 2008 rather than 1908and medical science has progressed as far as it has.

I would not be alive four or five different ways if not for living in the past quarter century instead of hundreds of years ago, and your lovely mother will certainly benefit from God's hand working through modern medical procedures to bring her at least some relief in her pain and symptoms until his time to take her from this Earth has come.

Complete recovery is the goal of course, but gentle compassionate reduction of suffering is also a benefit of our eathly medical capabilities and I pray equally for quality of life to go with ultimate healing if he sees fit.
