About 7 years ago I came here, cap in hand and asked the forum members to pray for my step-daughter Laurie who had contracted lung cancer. She survived the removal of part of her lung but the cancer had spread and she developed brain tumors. She has had a whole raft of treatments and she is still with us, albeit not in the best of conditions. About 2 months ago my stepson Rob was diagnosed with Multiple Myelomas in his spine and is undergoing a massive chemo therapy program. Every time he is retested the cancer shows up in more areas. Gail and I are afraid we will lose both of them sooner rather than later. Please include Laurie and Rob in your prayers. They are the youngest of our combined 5 offspring, and while Laurie and Rob are not my biological offspring and the kids were all adults when Gail and I got together, I feel that after 25+ years, they are my kids too. Thanks.
