    My Son needs prayer

    My son Walter has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and needs our prayers. I think he is having a hard time dealing with it as his attitude does not seem good. He says he doesn't want treatment, he's only 52 and a lot of life left yet. Please keep him in your prayers, thanks.

    Prostate cancer is very treatable, even in more advanced stages. Prayers sent that he is able to adjust his mindset and get treated.

    I’ve read that close to 99% of men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetimes but something else usually gets you beforehand. I have high PSA’s and get biopsies periodically but no actual cancer so far (fingers crossed).

    May God grant Walter comfort, strength, and healing.
    I would encourage him in realizing that he is not alone in this, and treatments are very effective. Look for the blessings, they are there.
    Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

    Prayers for your son.

    Anger is a normal reaction so do not be too concerned yet. Prostrate cancer is treatable in many cases.

    Agreed. Hits a man kinda hard, especially being only 52. Prayers sent.

    Prayers for your son .
    My father died at 90 of Prostrate cancer he never told us he had had it three years and it spread to his back .
    At 60 one of his best friends had surgery for the same the anesthesiologist put the breathing tube in wrong and killed him on the table . They did revive him but the result was life changing disabilities . Don looked like the cartoon character of Barney Rubble with nearly no neck and the breathing tube was shoved into his stomach the nurse caught that his heart stopped . I have a feeling this was the reason my father did not get surgery but it is only a guess on my part.
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    Like all others have said prostate cancer is very treatable even in advanced stage! I am battling it as well and a good urologist is very instrumental in dealing with it.....

    Father please be with Walter as he and his medical team deal with his prostate cancer. Please give Walter peace, healing, and clarity so that he can see the proper path that he has to follow to deal with his cancer. Please give his medical team the right path to send Walter down to restore him to his family and friends. AMEN

    Thanks everyone! He might have a bit of depression going on as he is a quiet type of person.

    I have several friends who have gone through it, and my dad had it. I pray that your son will get a positive attitude, it will make a tremendous difference.

    Father God, watch over Walter and heal him in mind, body, and spirit. Give him strength, hope, peace and courage. Reassure him of your loving presence. Amen.
