I hate cancer

[ryskey]

My friend's father has just been diagnosed with stomach cancer. Apparently, it has spread to his pancreas as well. Richard, a Texas Ex, is a very stubborn, hard-nosed rancher who hates to go to the doctor. He thought he had a stomach ulcer up until now. I'm very worried that it has had too much time to spread. Richard is also a very kind, generous, loving person who is deserving of all the support he can get. He's heading down to the UT cancer center in Houston this afternoon.

I'm also very worried about his son: my friend and roommate Bryan. I have known him and his father since I was 6 years old, so I was around when Bryan lost his mother 10 years ago to breast cancer. I can only imagine what he's going through right now. Both parents, one awful disease.

So I'm asking for prayers for the both of them. And for myself, so that I may be the most supportive friend that I can.

Thank you.

I will pray for all of you, ryskey.

My dad is also battling cancer right now, so I can relate.

God bless!

Prayers to all of you and prayers for strength as well. . stomach cancer , not to be pessimistic, can be very painful but heard it can be treated with radiation therapy, I pray that it's not too advanced.
I have lost family and friends to cancer and I know breast cancer surviors.
God Bless Richard ,his family and friends.

Cancer is a terrible, horrible thing. Both of my grandparents have fought through it...here's to hoping Richard does the same.
