My MIL was just diagnosed today with peritoneal cancer. She is being referred to a specialist for treatment. I can't describe enough how this diagnosis is going to rock our family. She is more than just my MIL, she is an amazing woman, having raised my wife on her own. She and my son (11) are inseparable, I don't know how we are going to tell him. She has been my second mom for going 25 years now. While all of us are deeply belief driven, and I know that our GOD is capable of anything. Hearing the words and listening to the doctor was worse than hearing my own cancer diagnosis 2 years ago. Please keep her and my family in your prayers.
 
Prayers for you and your family. Don't sell your son short. My daughter and her grandad were tight and she handled his death a lot better that I thought she would. As a matter of fact she was there when all of her grandparents died except my dad and he died before she was born. Kids are tuff.

Prayers for all!

I hope that she, like my sister, enlists the Lord's help to be among the first to beat the Devil (cancer).
 
I'm very sorry to hear this. I'm praying for a good outcome and a fast recovery.
I know having to tell someone you love bad news is tough. I hated to tell Mom I had cancer more than hearing the docs tell me I had it! You will find a way to tell your son about this.
Praying for you all.
 
Im very sorry to hear this, yall are in my thoughts
 
Praying for God's blessings on you and your family!
 
Matthew 6:8
“Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.”
 
You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

Be straight up with your son and answer any questions he has.

I have always talked to him like an adult. I have never lied to him or sugar coated the truth to him. He asked alot of questions when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 2 years ago but he was then 8-9. He has alot better understanding of life, sickness, and death now. I ain't gonna lie this is one that I am dreading. We will know more after Monday, we are going to wait a little bit and get all of the information before we tell him something that might not come to be. However, from what little research I have been able to do this afternoon, my MIL is very sock.
 
I’m so sorry to hear about your MIL. Prayers for her and your family.

Incoming prayers!
 
We are still praying for healing. She was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer that had spread to the peritoneal lining in her abdomen. She has had 2 rounds of chemo and has 1 more to go before surgery in June. She will then have 3 more chemo treatments and a CT-scan to see if any progress has been made. She is in great spirits and we are all being positive. We are waiting for a call from another specialist at Baptist, they perform a procedure that her current doctor does not do. It is going to be a long summer full of ups and downs. This mothers day is going to be very special for all of us. She is waiting on the results of her genetic testing, to see if she is a carrier of the BRACA 1-2 gene. If she tests positive, my wife will be tested and could be facing some decisions to do pro-active surgery to prevent her from developing cancer herself.

I'm sending good thoughts to you all.

I feel for your family, having all the waiting to do for tests and all is excruciating, I know. It does help if you have a sense of humor, preferably a bit twisted....it sure did help us get through some pretty gnarly stuff!

If my bio-mom and her sisters had thought to give me a heads-up that 2 of them had had breast cancer, I'd have had a mammo as soon as I learned about them....but nobody thought to try to get the adoption records opened up, and so I had no idea I was a time bomb waiting to go off. (Still have a bit of anger to resolve on that one!)

I'm glad tests are being done for your wife and I hope she doesn't have to make any hard choices. But whatever happens, you guys will deal with it, and just know I can be leaned on if necessary.
 
Our Lord works well with Baptist, I'm living proof! My prayers are with her and your family.

We did get a consultation with the specialist at Baptist on Monday. They offered her a spot in a clinical trial that has had some good results. She is still on the fence but leaning that way. We are all wishing she would try the new treatment. The decision is hers, and God will decide the outcome. Still praying that he makes her a testimony to healing.
 
It has been a year since her diagnosis. 8 chemo treatments, an experimental surgery and lots, and lots of prayers. We are leaving Baptist now, with no evidence of any cancer in her now. God is good, and he is still in the healing business.
