Please would you pray for my father Christopher . We just found out that he has very dangerous and probably inoperable brain tumors. He went for a CT Scan on Saturday as he was suffering from sudden dizziness. He has to find a brain surgeon asap, though his doctor told him that it will be hard to find someone who will agree to operate because of the location of the tumors,and because of my father's age. Please also pray for my mother who is extremely frail – I am not sure she will be able to cope with the news. Please pray for us as we have to make decisions. And especially that my dad will find solace in his faith. Please pray too that this will be a time for all my siblings who are away from the Church to return to their faith.

Thank you.

Prayers for all of you, Marilyn! This is a tough road to walk - our family knows it well. Please know that you are in our prayers - for wisdom and also peace in accepting whatever God's most holy will may be for your father.



Please keep us posted as you're able.

Praying for him, Marilyn. And for you, too, and the rest of your family. It is hard to see our parents facing situations like this. Are they in US or England?

Mary - they are in the US - only about a half hour from us. Three of my siblings are in the area too. And as God's timing is incredible - another of my brothers who is an MD abroad, was visiting for first time in 10 years, and he will be here to go to the drs. appts.
My parents just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.

Yes Jen - I remember Chris and all the suffering you all had.

In a few hours I have learned a whole new vocabulary that I wish I did not have to - metastatic, primary, glomus jugulare, cerebral angiography...........

Marilyn, your father and your entire family will be in my prayers. Is there a particular Saint of whom we should request intercession?
St. Catherine of Siena , pray for us.
St. Pius V, pray for us.

Oh my goodness, my dear Friend! I’m so sorry, know that your dear father and all of your family are in our prayers. Please, keep us updated. The new vocabulary is a difficult reminder, isn’t it? I wish I could come and bring tea and hugs.

Please would you continue to pray - especially on Wednesday (tomorrow). At 12.30pm EST my dad will be having a biopsy - which is very risky because the tumor is located almost on his jugular vein, and because of his age.

Thank you so much for all your prayers.
