A young friend if mine, an adopted son, is 36 and has been treated for lung cancer. After his last treatment he ended up with a staph infection in his blood and such.
They did a scan last week, the results were bad.

They told him he has three months maybe. His body is completely full of cancer.

My kids are not doing well with this either. His wife has taken good care of him, they don't have any children. His mom died several years ago from cancer and siroccos of the liver. She was a hair dresser and never wore gloves when working with chemicals. His sister is 38, she was born with spineabifita. The fact that she lived is a miracle. She is cared for in a nursing home now.

God can change man's course in life whenever he chooses. God have mercy!

Pani Rose, my prayers for mercy and spiritual and physical comfort for Brandon and your and his family. It's a very sad and painful situation. I know God's mercy is especially with those for whom He is the only One to whom they may turn for help.

We pray, that Your servant Brandon, O Lord, may recover, and be made well in spirit, and that he may be rich with Your abundant mercy, we pray you, hear, and have mercy.

Prayers for Brandon, that the Lord look with loving kindness on him, give peace to him, and, if be His Will, that he cure Brandon of this terrible disease, restore him him to health, and grant him many years.

Prayers for Brandon. I know how he must feel and I appreciated the prayers of others when I was in need.

Lord heal your servant Brandon!
Let Your Presence be felt by him.
Amen

I have not been able to bring myself to talk with him yet. My son says it is as though all Brandon's faith is gone. Lord have mercy!
