My uncle has less then 6 months

[anewvance]

I posted here a few weeks ago asking for prayers and positive thoughts for my uncle. He was in the hospital with water in his lungs and around his heart. Well things went from bad to worse... we first found out he has lung cancer and then the kicker was that he has colon cancer too, 2 totally different cancers. If they even attempted treatment like Chemo, he'd have to have 2 totally different therapy treatments. They have decided not to do it. To just let him go. The doctors are saying less then 6 months. He is a very good man who has lived a wonderful long life but it is still very sad. He and my aunt just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and we all threw them the biggest surprise party with family who flew in literally from all over the WORLD!

My grandmother is very distraught and I am feeling so guilty leaving her with my 3 kids while we are in Ireland, thank goodness my MIL came into town from Denver today to help. She is worried that when my uncle does pass that their daughter is going to take my aunt with her to live up in North Carolina... my grandma and her sister are very very close and have lived close to each other their entire lives.

Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. There are really no other prayers and positive thoughts left in this situation but I suppose good thoughts that he doesn't suffer & that his passing will be peaceful and things will work out for my family would be truly appreciated.

I know they are giving him maybe 6 months, I just pray that nothing happens while I am over seas. This will be my first blood relative to pass in my family for me so I'm expecting not to probably take it to well, will hit way to close to home.

Sorry to hear the news, Melissa. Good wishes for his comfort, and who knows, miracles do in fact happen. He and all the family will continue in my prayers.

I'm so sorry.

Sending good thoughts that you uncle does not suffer. Cancer is such a beast! I've lost several relatives to this dreaded disease.

I'm so sorry, Melissa! We've had so many in our family who we've lost to cancer. Don't worry about leaving your kids with them; it may prove to be a welcome distraction. How wonderful that you guys threw the 50th anniversary celebration! It's at times like these that you can be comforted by the nice things you've done for your Uncle, and for the many happy years you've all shared. I'm sure you've been a wonderful neice!

Sometimes all we can do is hope for an easy passing for someone, surrounded by their loved ones.

How wonderful that they celebrated such a milestone recently with the anniversary!!!! What wonderful memories!!

Prayers that "goes gently".

Oh, Melissa..

I'm so sorry your family is going through this....

Just think, that anniversary gift will be a gift he will NEVER forget, and know that he has a beautiful memory that is a testiment to the kind of man he is. Sometimes we never get the chance to do this for those we love before it's too late.

God bless....

Melissa, I'm so sorry about your uncle.
As long as someone lives in our hearts and memories, they are never really gone. I hope he has a peaceful passing.

Please remember darling that God has the final word in what happens to your uncle. I believe God has the ability to heal your uncle. Have fun with him and all your family. If you are sad, cry out to God and friends and family. I don't know you, but I know they love you (God most of all). Have hope if you want good things to happen. God hopes with you!!! and so do I. I pray for peace of mind for your family and you. In Jesus' name
