Well, I know this is probably not the right place to ask for prayers since it is a breast group, but I think more traffic happens here. My father is sick. He is bleeding in the urine. It is pointing to his kidneys and looks like cancer to me. They did some tests and procedures this week. We will know the results by Friday. Please...please keep him in your prayers. Thank you all. God bless.

    We look for prayers where ever we can. You have mine. Can I have yours too. I'm anxiously waiting for results that have a 50/50 chance of being the ones I want.
    Our prayers are always answered-- sometimes it's just not the answer we wanted. Then you pray for help to keep on keeping on
    God Bless

    Michael, dear....how many times have you been here for us?
    Blood in the urine can mean other things, too. One of the 'biggies' is a kidney stone...VERY painful...sharp-edged piece of calcified stuff that has formed there...and the body keeps trying to void...my beau has had 3....
    Prayers to you and your dad that this is all it is.....
    Hugs, kathi

    Hi Michael,

    Whenever there are 2 or more in paryer I will answer.
    I know how scary it is to have a family member facing a possible bad diagnosis. It is harder than facing your own. I have been there too. I am a newly diagnosed breast cancer.

    You will have my prayers for you and your father. I must tell you that a neighbor and very good friend did have a positive diagnosis for kidney cancer, and they had the kidney removed and are fine. I also have to agree with Kathi, it might be a kidney stone, or something not related to cancer. Hang in there and don't lose your faith. If you have a jar of Mustard Seed, put it out and look at it everytime the fear comes. He said, "IF YOU HAVE FAITH AS SMALL AS A MUSTARD SEED YOU CAN SAY TO THIS MOUNTAIN MOVE AND IT WILL BE DONE"

    BLESSING TO YOU AND YOURS

    Of course it's the right place to ask for prayers. I am a member of 2 Bible studies, and I will add your dad, and also you to our list. We pray Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Tuesday at 7 p.m. and Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. That's on the East coast. Join in if you'd like. Everyone linked to this thread is invited.
    God bless you both,
    In His service,
    Karen

    Just adding one more prayer to the list. May you and your Dad remain in peace no matter what the answers turnout to be. Many of us have beat the beast and many times have learned more about ourselves and become better people in the end.

    God Bless and Take Care.... But let us hope that you turn out to be one of the lucky ones and this will just be a bump in the road with no real issue.

    Take Care. God Bless.

    Thank you very much, Kathy! You are right.. sometimes we need to humble ourselves (so hard to do!!) and ask God to help us through the difficult times... since they haven't been taken from us. God bless.
    You are in my prayers.

    Very wise words our Father has taught us! How are you doing with your breasts? Have you had treatment? Are you ok? I hope so. I will remember you and your neighbor. Thank you for your words and prayers. Blessings.

    Just wanted to add only one prayer for me...
    I have always prayed that I and those I love will be given the strength to face all we must and endure. Families facing losses must be given the strength to get through coping with all there IS.
    This too is my prayer for you and your family,
    Tara

    You are right, Tara. We must always pray for strength to get through very tough times. Thank you.
