Special prayers needed!

To everyone out there!

I often see postings asking for prayers for family members that are sick.  I need some help in this area.  My older brother Bill has Bone Marrow Cancer.  They had extracted Stem Cells from his hip a few weeks ago but it wasn't enough.  He's goes back in today and they are going to put a port in his chest in hopes to get the rest of what they need.  This is not only very painful but they will also be destroying his immune system at the same time.  I went to see him on Monday, he has turned completely gray and walking ackward because of pain from stress fractures as a result of the cancer and weaken state of his bones.  It is so hard to see him like this.  My brother was always the athletic one, always eating healthy - everthing organic.  So, if you can add him to your prayers today I would be extremely grateful!

Laureen,

Thanks for your prayers.  I should have included my mom in these prayers. I just got off the phone with her and she is a mess.  This is the second time my brother has battled cancer.  We almost lost him when he was 25 when we found that he was laten stage 2 Melanoma.  He was given a 30% survial rate. but he bet it.  This second cancer is not related to the frist.  I've been on the computer all morning to avoid stress eating.  Thanks again for your support.
