My fathers lung cancer has recently come out of remission & he's started chemotherapy again. Doctors say if it doesn't work there's nothing else they will be able to do for him. Seems unfair for a believer who's never smoked a day in his life! But we're all thankful for the extra time with him as he was given 4-6 months to live last January. We have left it in the Lords hands, the best doctor of all. Thanks & Happy New Year to all.

I am very sorry to hear that. Nothing fair about cancer. The only person in my family who ever died of, or even had, cancer was my grand mother. She lived a basically pure exsistance, never smoked, drank, etc. But that was 50 years ago. Here's hoping that modern medical technology can save your dad.

My prayers are with your father. Hopefully, the cancer will go back into remission, or better yet, go away totally.

I'll pray too. Lost my wife to cancer almost a year and a half ago. Be there for your father and tell him you love him. Let him know people all over the US are praying for him. Dave

My fathers name is Sulo. How's that for a good Finnish name?
Thanks for all the replies and again, Happy New Year to everyone.

My prayers go out to all of you. I appreciate the testimony of your faith.

You're in God's hands and no matter what the situation, I can't think of a better place to be.

May God bless and keep you.

We recently lost a very close friend, more of a family member. She was young early 30's 3 wonderful children and a loving husbanddiagnosised with Cancer 3+ years ago. She was given 6 months to live. She lived , loved , and fought for an additional 2 1/2 years past the Dr.s best hopes for her.

It was not time for her to stop Gods ministry to us. She keep us going through it all. I bet your father is the same way. Cherish every moment with him...he is not through teaching yet.

You are for sure in my prayers along with your dad and Family...

Sometimes I wish we could take a trip far away...

Leave all this trouble and heartache and pain for another day...

I will search for that place but 'til I find it all I can say is...

Live every moment,,, love every day,,,
Because before you know it,,, your precious time slips away...

Your family will be included in my prayers for His will for your Dad.

I lost both of my parents to lung cancer. Enjoy what time you have left. I have vivid memories of my dad's last few hours, they will always be with me.

I copied off all the replies to my prayer request and gave them to my father last night. It brought him to tears knowing that so many good people, whom we don't even know would take time to pray for him. He wanted me to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.
He's proud that i could be a part of such a great group.
Thanks again & Happy New Year!

If the chemo doesn't work, you can always try one of the drug studies.
