Can You Help With Prayers for My MIL's Cancer Diagnosis?

[jbachen]

So, I occasionally read through these prayer requests, but rarely respond, because first of all, they depress me, but secondly because I am not very religious, so I just add everyone in need to my own thoughts and well wishes, which is sort of my way of praying, I guess... But right now I need all the help I can get, so I am writing to ask for it.

My MIL had her annual gynecological exam recently, and they found cancer. We really don't know much right now - but of course they are scheduling surgery right away, most likely to do a complete hysterectomy, and then they will proceed from there.

My Mom passed away 5.5 years ago, and my MIL really took me in and became my substitute Mom - I mean, she always was that way, I just felt it more since my own Mother passed. Even though the summer the twins were born when she stayed with us for a month she: broke my stoneware bar pan, put my ice cream scooper in the dishwasher, and ripped my old kitchen shears holder off my cabinet, I still love her dearly, and I want so much for her to be OK.

Sorry this got so long, but if you would all add her to your thoughts and prayers then I will feel like she has a strong team backing her up. Thanks!

Please see this thread: What a wonderful ministry.The distance might be a little great, but there must be someone like this near you.

Hey, everyone, thanks for the prayers! They worked! She actually does not have cancer, just cancerous cells... She has been very good about getting her annual exams done, so they caught them in time, and it will be a fairly simple procedure to remove them. But it just goes to show how important it is for ladies to keep up with their annual exams!!

Why did I cry when I read this about your MIL? Maybe because we recently went through the same thing with mine and it was so fresh in my heart. So happy for you and her for the continued presence in your life and the twins too! Prayer is the outreaching of souls to one another and to God. However you can do it! Keep it up.

Happy to hear this Jean - and glad she's been on the ball with her exams. Enjoy your MIL and her company - you're lucky to have her. I lost mine over 10 years ago only a few years into my marriage.

I am so sorry to hear you no longer have your MIL... I am very lucky to have mine. She is not my own Mom, but she is a good egg. She recently moved from Vegas to NC, so at least now she is on the same coast we are! I am hoping we can see more of her now that we can drive to a visit rather than fly!

Prayers will be said! Keep your chin up girl!

Thanks Jean - yes I feel sad that I don't have her especially for my husband's sake. She was extremely ill the whole time I knew her (6 1/2 years) and died at the young age of 66 - had many heart attacks, breast cancer, and eventually emphysema. I'm lucky I still have my mom - she's only 64 and in great health and we are extremely close. She is a second mom to my husband as well which he really likes.
