Second Prayer Intention for po18guy

**po18guy** · #1 Mar 17, '09, 10:08 am

CAF brothers and sisters, I had a second PET scan yesterday after the first post-chemo scan revealed a possible sign of trouble in my neck. My neck is now clear. However, there are four lymph nodes in my pelvic area that are swollen, revealing that the cancer may be returning. I was scheduled only for a neck scan, but that would have shown me to be clear. The radiologists decided that a full-body scan was needed. It revealed the problem early, giving me more time. I will have a biopsy either this week or the next to determine if they are cancerous. My options now are limited, except with the Lord. The news was initially devastating, but is quickly teaching me to trust in God. Thank you and may the Lord bless each one of you.

Jim

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the Fruit of Thy Womb,

and at the hour of our death.

Haven't stopped praying for you - you're still in my prayers, and your wife and daughter, and I even pray for those treating you.

O Holy Child Jesus, who shed Your blessings on whoever invokes Your name, look kindly on us who kneel humbly before Your holy Image, and hear our prayers. We commend to Your mercy the many poor and needy people who trust in Your Divine Heart. Lay Your all powerful hand upon them and help them in their needs. Lay Your hand upon the sick, to cure them and sanctify their suffering; upon those in distress, to console them; upon sinners, to draw them into the light of your divine grace; upon all those who, stricken with grief and suffering, turn trustingly to You for loving help. Lay Your hand also upon all of us and give us Your blessing. O little King, grant the treasures of Your divine mercy to all the world, and keep us now and always in the grace of Your love! Amen.
