[__ Prayer __] Friend's Son has Cancer

[KevinK]

My best friend's son has liver cancer (90% certainty). 2/3 will be removed. If he survives, ongoing prognosis looks good. Could use some good prayer support at this time. He's an ATC in the Air Force, has a wife and son. Surgery will be on the 28th.

Edit: turned out to be bile duct cancer. Usually fatal as by the time it's diagnosed, it's too late. Since they are operating, it's actually a good sign, but they have to get all of it.

Prayers offered for him and his family and friends.

The good news is the liver grows back. I am sure he will probably have at least one round of chemotherapy.

Lifting them up!

God Bless!

Would that it be God's desire to allow this disease to finally be cured.

Prayers for your friend's son and his entire family.
Much strength will be needed at this time.
Prayers that it be God's will that all turns out well.

definitely praying. God sometimes heals directly, sometimes thru doctors, sometimes its a mix of what modern medicine has to offer and direct touches from The Lord...

at any rate, praying for a good outcome.

I do not understand your edit, but praying.

Turned out to be bile duct cancer that spread to the liver.

They should be operating on him as we speak.

Thanks Brother KevinK. Prayers continued.

 

[KevinK]

4 hours in and no word. No news is good news.

 

[KevinK]

11 hours in and still on the table. Gall bladder and right lobe of liver removed. They are now doing artery grafts and biliary tract reconstruction. Best possible development given the situation. Prayers must be working.

 

[KevinK]

Finally got some post-op results. By the end of the 10-hour procedure, surgeons had removed the planned 2/3 of his liver, his gall bladder, and some tract. Repairs done to damaged arteries. It would have been perfect had not a trace amount of cancer remained that they could not safely cut out of the bile duct. This will have to be dealt with through chemo/radiation.

Its still a fight for life with a cancer this malevolent, but at least he does have a fighting chance. For the moment it's PT and pain meds until he's ready for further treatment.

Thanks once again for all the prayer support.

 

[AirDancer]

At least there is hope for the future for him, and that's an answer to prayers!

Please keep us updated on him, as prayers will continue for him & his family
