Prayers Needed

Uncle Bill, my mom's younger brother, was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma (colon cancer) last week. He has a tumor in his large intestines that makes it nearly impossible for him to eat and as a result he's lost a lot of weight and is in a great deal of pain. He has had a CT scan and biopsy and there is some inflammation in his lymph nodes as well as a suspicious spot on his liver. He is scheduled to have a PET scan on Wednesday so the doctors can get a clearer picture of his cancer and to know whether it has spread. In the meantime, he'll meet with a surgeon today to discuss removing the tumor. I ask that you please join us in praying for Uncle Bill...that the surgery would be soon so he can have some relief from pain and get some nutrition. Please also pray that the cancer hasn't spread and can be removed with surgery. If further treatment is needed, please pray for the doctors wisdom in suggesting courses of treatment, strength for Uncle Bill, Bonnie, Will and Lauren, and most of all healing.
