Uncle in the hospital

[wherzwaldo]

My aunt called us this morning. My uncle, who is a little over 70, was having severe back pains last night and ended up going to the ER. Once there, they apparently ran some tests and found spots on his liver. Does that mean that he probably has cancer?

That's all I know at this point. My family and I would appreciate your prayers. He has three children and four grandchildren, ranging in age from 3 to 8.

The doctors did a bone marrow test today and didn't find any cancer, so I guess that's a good sign. However, he's not in the clear yet. They haven't been able to do a biopsy because he has about 1/3 of the minimum amount of platelets in his blood. They're hoping to do the biopsy Thursday and have some sort of results by Friday.

Please keep him in your prayers. He is apparently in tremendous pain.

Well, my uncle passed away earlier this afternoon.

Pretty much the entire family is devastated, particularly at how fast this happened. His family in particular is overwhelmed right now, having to deal with his death, my aunt shattering her elbow, one of their children getting divorced, another getting treatment for a drug addiction, and my grandmother's death, all within the last year. The next few days of funeral preparations are going to be pretty rough for them.

Please pray for his family, and the entire extended family as there will be a lot of people traveling down to Nederland for the funeral.
