Please Pray for Brendon

in Esophageal Cancer #1
I come to this site today to ask for many prayers tonight and tomorrow.

Brendon went in the hospital on Saturday morning with bloating, a feeling of fullness, and an unexpected weight gain of 12 lbs in a couple of days (with no feeding tube and very little nutrients)...

Blood work shows no signs of infection.

CT scan shows fluid in his abdominal cavity. Also spotted were several nodules throughout the stomach.

Nodules and fluid can be many things.

However, the dr did say that it could be cancer in the stomach.

Tomorrow we will have a procedure done to test the nodules and fluid.

We are supposed to fly out on Wednesday for MIE surgery...

Brendon is a good man...39 years old...and the love of my life.
I ask for prayers today. Prayers that the cancer has not metasized to his stomach.
Prayers that we can still get on that plane Wednesday to get the EC out of his body.
I don't ask a lot in life, but I am asking now for prayers. Please.

God Bless,
Susie

    I am praying for you
    Dearest Susie

    I know all too well about the swelling and the fluid in the abdominal cavity. Thats what Vince had. If it is not malignant that would be wonderful. Will you know tomorrow? If so please e-mail me privately and maybe we can talk on the phone.
    You are good people just like all the rest of us . I know what you are crying out for and I hope God hears you.


    Love

    Prayers
    Dear Susie,

    Know that Jim and I both are pulling and praying for Brendon. I read your post to Jim, and he and I are both in tears that you are both going through this. None of us deserve this, but it hits so hard when you see such a young vital 39 year old man hit by EC. There have been so many showing up on the site lately. We pray that there is no cancer and surgery will be okay for Wednesday. Please keep us posted. We have been following you from day one and I know God hears all of our prayers.

    Jim had so many scares, so we will pray that is what this is.

    Linda and Jim

    prayers for sure
    Dear Susie,
    Sad to hear of another problem and so hoping that there is a good explanation for this and that Brendon can go on to surgery if that is what will be the best for him. Will do my special prayer procedure, write his name and put it right on my kitchen counter so I see it all the time and pray for him and yourself. You have been so good and trying so hard, I hope that there is a good outcome. take care, hugs from afar,

    Continued prayers for good results and strength
    Susie,

    I am so sorry that you and Brendon have been faced with another challenge on your journey to surgery. I will be praying the results of the tests show something other than metastasis to the stomach and surgery can take place as scheduled.

    I know you will keep us updated as things proceed.

    Best Regards,
