Keeping you in my thoughts bro. Keep faith and stay as strong as possible for your children. Let the wife know we are all pulling for her. Godspeed.

 

[Floxedone]

We lift your wife up in prayer!
Of all the un-selfish, loving, and God-like things to prayer for is for the protection and healing of loved ones.
We prayer that her healing will be complete and miraculous to the Glory of God and that true life and vitality will flow without limit or measure. By the stripes and finished work of Jesus Christ God has promised us all things, let it be now.

" After 3 of these surgeries and a maintenance of tumor growth suppressing medication, she should be able to live some sort of a "normal" life."

Oh God! I pray its more than that! My heart cries out to God for you and your family.

You must have some pressures financially as well as pressures in almost every other area of life right now.

Please accept $400 in credit from us as we would like to at least help offset some of your expenses related to your training.

Just email us for a list!

Its not easy waiting on the reports and not being able to plan anything beyond the next doctors appointment or the next procedure.

But a man has to be willing to lose it to keep it. Your children need you to be strong in your faith always. You are not alone in your suffering.

I have lost to many to be able to say much more than: He will never give you more than you can handle. He will remain faithful despite our own unfaithfulness!

Sincerely,

IPG

Hey all...

The next few days I will be in Lexington, Kentucky with my wife at the Markey Cancer Center.

She has stage 4 carcinoid cancer of the jejunum with liver metastasis. She will be having having a radical surgery where blood flow to the first cluster of liver lesions is to be cut off and a a depot of a chemotherapeutic drug is to be injected where it will sit with the aim being to stop nourishment of the lesions while they sit and stew in this chemo drug.

This cancer is different in many ways from other types of cancer. Carcinoid cancer is a neuroendocrine type of tumor. The reason this cancer is so "special" is because it causes carcinoid syndrome. Carcinoid syndrome is a condition where this tumor causes random frequent floods of dozens of hormones with serotonin, bradykinin, histamine, and various prostaglandins to name a few. This surgery is extremely dangerous for 2 reasons...1) her primary tumor is right on top of her descending aorta and 2) any invasive agitation causes the hormone dumps and the severity of each dump is unpredictable....

These surges literally cause her to "hulk out"...no BS. The main problem is syncope, major histamine responses and severe heart damage with each "crisis". People with this cancer live longer but quality of life is greatly affected, it is painful, and it is self-perpetuating. Any deviation in emotions or sensation of pain aggravate the tumor resulting in more hormone surge, further aggravating the tumor stimulating growth equating to more hormone surge and so on and so forth. Simply being in pain is detrimental because it or any other emotion, happy or sad, delight or excitement cause more hormone surge. Literally a snowball effect.

After 3 of these surgeries and a maintenance of tumor growth suppressing medication, she should be able to live some sort of a "normal" life.

Anyway...I NEED PRAYERS FROM YOU GUYS. The stress with this is out of this world...we have 6 children ages 3 - 12 and I dont know of I can do this without her

also...if any of you live in Lexington or have a contact around there Ill be looking for a place to workout across the next 6 days. If you live anywhere near and have guest passes or know of a gym that would work something out with me so I can get in there once a day Id be forever great full​...

Pray for us

Finally, we made it home. She is in bed, kids quiet...she is resting. She is begging not to have to do this again. I know though after they are completed the fight will be worth the rewards. Im looking forward to some normality.

Thank you all for your prayers. It is only by Gods grace and your well wishes she is working through this!

BN I'm going through some pretty intense personal stuff at the moment. But after reading this thread It made me realize how selfish I've been walking around having a pity party for myself. When there's people out there dealing with so much more then I am. I will keep you and your family in my prayer's. Please keep us updated!

 

[Bull_Nuts]

What a rough night...she cried in her sleep for what seems all night...running to the pharmacy to fill her prescription ASAP this morning...

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes.

Don't feel bad about feeling selfish man....sometimes the best thing that can come out of personal strife is to realize others are suffering as bad or worse than you. And then heed the call to action to give support and care. You're a good man, Michael, for realizing this.

Good vibes to everybody in this thread especially OP Bull and also you Michael. Hugs guys.

 

[Bull_Nuts]

Thanks again guys...especially IP Gear! Keep us in your prayers...we are still not yet out of the woods.

This is so scary to me, the fact that the cancer was in there so long and the main symptom you saw was her irritability. This could happen to any of our wives. I don't know what I would do. I would gladly trade my life for my wife's.

I don't pray a lot, but I will say a prayer for your wife tonight. I do believe God helped me survive and continues to look over me even today. I will ask that he do the same for your wife.

 

[Littlebig]

Sending prayers daily brother
