Prayer needed for my wife...

[GoodOlBoy]

My wife and I have both had the flu for the last week. She finally went to the doctor yesterday, and while she was in mentioned a lump on her neck that had been bothering her. She has an appointment with a surgeon on Thursday to have it looked over and see if it is something "simple" like a cyst, or something "more dangerous"...

Prayers would be much appreciated for Heather.

God Bless, and One Love

Richard

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus I ask first your peace be felt in them as individuals and throughout their home as they wait upon this diagnosis. Secondly, we pray this be nothing more than a benign cyst.

The doctors were unsure of what the lump might be after the appointment today. They scheduled tests totaling well over nine thousand dollars (All of which was to be paid up front since we don't have insurance or income), but are trying to get us into a testing center at another doctors office in another town which would drop the cost significantly, so long as we still pay upfront. They are concerned at this time as to whether or not it is something, possibly cancerous, in her lymph nodes. The doctor now knows he is likely going to have to operate but wants contrast upper ct, extensive blood tests, etc etc before he does the surgery...

Upon checking the mailbox today, after she got home, we found a letter from SS Disability. Denied again. This time they agreed with all of the doctors assessments of my disabilities, and that I can't work, but I'm still denied... It was accompanied by several bills still due from my emergency cancer surgery... Two years and I haven't recovered from the emergency cancer surgery, more than four years fighting SS Disability WITH Attorneys...

It's all just still stacking up... every day, no matter what I do or how hard I pray... I'm just at a loss...

God bless, and one love... I'm going to take a break again... I'll check back in when I can...

[buckwheatpaul]

Richard, All I can say is to keep fighting the S.S.I. people....I dont know what is gained from denying your claim when they agreed with the diagnosis. I will keep praying for you and Heather......Paul

[NC_JEFF]

Richard I will certainly be praying about your wife's medical situation and for you. If God brought you to it He will bring you through it. Sounds simple but I believe it. Stay strong Richard, glorify God and watch.

Richard, more prayers up here. As to the SSI, I think (honestly!) that the Trial Lawyers' Assn. got laws passed that basically make it virtually a necessity to have a lawyer represent you IF you want to get approved. We have one here, very much of the "shyster" class, that does much of the SS Disability claims, and I hate this leech. But he gets his clients on SS Disability, when they've been unable to get positive determinations themselves. I don't know what the "secret" to it is, or even if there IS one, but from all I've seen, it seems like a racket getting it approved to me. Just MHO of course, based on what I've seen in my time and area, and it seems to vary a bit from locale to locale, depending on who is in charge at SS and what kind of lawyers they have there. If you figure it all out, you're a LOT smarter than I am! But you may want to go ahead and sacrifice some of the money that's coming to you and get a lawyer on your case. They seem to uniformly get positive results, generally, when without one, folks can't seem to budge the bureaucracy. FWIW??? It's NOT like it ought to be, but when you need income, it may be your quickest/best bet, as repugnant as I find it to be. God bless and help you no matter what you do, but it's seemed to be customary for a long, long time now, to be denied unless and until you really press the issue. It's as though they have to be MADE to make a just decision!!! I have never known anyone in charge of making those decisions, and if I did, I'm quite sure I'd not be very good "friends" with them. I seriously think the whole system was designed by the Trial Lawyers' Assn., and I'm not kidding about that one whit! God be with you, and send you his Grace and Mercy.

Tests came in, she's scheduled for a surgical biopsy next week. Dr's think it is probably Lymphoma, but that's the only way to be certain.

Heather had a biopsy on Friday, we will get the results in ten to twelve days. So far she seems to be healing nicely from the procedure. We can only pray that everything else is positive once the results have come in. Thanks for the prayers.

God Bless, and One Love.

Continued prayers, my friend. If you might find comfort in it, my wife has recently been through a very similar thing...lump in her neck, and had the biopsy done, etc. Hers was negative...Praise The Lord! I pray for you and yours that Heather's results may be the same.

I just read through this thread and realize that my issues are insignificant compared to others "crosses". God willing your wife will have nothing major and heal up just fine from only the complications of a flu bug. It is always easy to "armchair quarterback" when one is not in a situation such as yours. I pray for strength, comfort and hope in the One whom created the universe and will richly bless you for your faith.
God Bless you both

[buckwheatpaul]

Father, I am coming to You to ask for grace and healing for Heather. Please allow the biopsy to be negative and allow her freedom from the associated fears that associate with any unknown biopsy. Father, You are my God and my Hero and I pray that Richard and Heather will be able to sing Your praises in just a few short days. AMEN

[daniel lawecki]

Prayers sent you are in good hands KEEP THE FAITH.

[GoodOlBoy]

So we got the results yesterday and I am still in a little shock. The pathology report is that it is either Chronic Lymphocytic Lukemia, or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma..... The difference between the two is where the majority of the cancers present and only a good oncologist is going to be able to tell us that. They do believe that some nodules found in the CT scan in her chest and upper abdomen are signs that it has already spread... Right now they say it is entirely treatable, but the treatment could last from one year to the rest of her life, and it averages about $100K (Yes One Hundred Thousand Dollars) per year for treatment costs with insurance that we don't have. They have recommended we try to get her an appointment at MD Anderson Hospital as they have financial folks who can help try to get the payments offset and can help us try to get on Medicaid... They warned us it will probably take at least six months to get to the point she is even being treated....

Prayers would be greatly appreciated still.

God Bless, and One Love.

[buckwheatpaul]

Richard, M.D. Anderson is a great cancer hospital. It saved one of my cousins and I pray that your Heather will be healed through the doctors there.

Father, I am praying that You intervene in Heather's serious condition. Please guide Heather and Richard as they go through the medical procedures to be healed. Please guide and whisper into the ears of the medical personnel that will attend to Heather. Lastly, Please remove any pain and fears associated so that they can concentrate on her healing! AMEN
