I need your prayers/medical problem

Well the majority of you know i am a cancer patient and for now in remission.Well in the last 12hrs i have started to pass blood in a significant amount.I have allready contacted my doctor and as soon as my wife gets ready we are going to his office.I am so scared the cancer has come back:( .Since i think of the members here as part of my family.I wanted to let everyone know whats going on incase i am admitted to the hospital and you wonder why i have disappered.I am positive that i will be admitted.As far as if i have to have any type of surgery i guess we wait for results of whatever tests they do.The last time i had surgery i barely pulled thru it :( .I am so scared.If they do admit me or surgery i will have my wife Cindy post on here with updates.I am trying to think positive thoughts but they are far and few at this time.If they do admit me for a length of time i will miss you all.Well we are getting ready to leave.I hope to be able to talk to you all soon.:(

Good Luck Joe. Ill be keeping you in my prayers.

Joe, my thoughts and prayers are with you - hope you're back soon!

You'll be back on the forum before you know it, Joe. Get well soon!!

come back soon joe... i won't have anyone to joke around with... i'm sending reiki healing vibes your way and to your wife cindy as well.

Joe, you are deffinetly in my thoughts and prayers...hang in there!

Keep us all posted! You know were all here hoping you get better soon....and you also need to get better soon so I can kick your butt like I promised :D

The most heroic thing is facing that is which scares you. I truly think that you will pull through and will be back at BP.net in no time. Im expecting a thread from you. "I'm back and cured!" Take care!

Joe, if you serve the same God I serve, the true God, then you know nothing is impossible for Him! Just think of how complex the human body is. I believe that I joined this forum for a purpose,not by accident! I joined to reasearch snakes, but God uses the little things for His purpose. He knew you would be in this situation. He knew that with more people praying to Him, the result will be great. God uses things like this so people may see how great He is, so I have faith that He is using you right now for a purpose bigger than yourself! I am praying for you, and believing for a miracle!!

Joe,
I too am a cancer patient. Mine returned about 3 months ago, after a 6 year remission. I will most definitely be praying that God watch over you, comfort you, and heal you!

In Christ,
Steve

Good luck Joe - My best to you and yours :)

I have a lot of ppl to add to my prayer list!! Great!

I am in tears as i write this.As i started reading the responses here its not a surprise that so many members have given me there support and prayers.Now as to what happened today.My doctor diagnosed that the blood was not coming from inside of me.Its actually coming from a area that has become iratated(spelling) around that area.Of course my wife and i thought of the worst reason of the blood being their.When i was first diagnost with cancer Feb 9 2001 i was in stage 3 and borderline on stage 4.So after the surgery on Feb 14 2001 they gave me a 67% possibility of extending my life by 5yrs.Since then i have had two other surgeries i almost did not make it out of the latter one,during the 2001 surgery i code blue because i stopped breathing(as i did in the latter surgery).So after all this everytime something happens i automaticly prepare myself for the end of my life.The reason for this is i know the time is nearing closer everyday.Of all the sites i am a member of this IS THE BEST! If i would have posted this thread on any other site noone would have cared or would have responded with something stupid.I have responded to numerous well wishes or prayers needed threads along with majority of the other members here.This showed me that this is not just a normal everyday old members of a internet site,but a caring for your fellow man/women family site:) .When i tell my wife about things that are posted here she even says this sites members are caring people.I want to Thank Everyone here for the support that was sent our way:) .I also want to urge any member here that has family history of cancer(i hate this word:mad: ) to not hesitate getting checked.Do not think that you are to young (i was 34) to be diagnosed with cancer.By me hesitating like i done in the beggining i cut my life short.Once again i Thank You All for being here for us:)

Joe, I'm SO glad it turned out to be nothing serious! :hug: :sunny: :hug: Still, must not be fun, and I wish you a speedy recovery!

I asked him that and he was positive that it wasnt something that needed to have me admitted.He said its something common in people that have my type of cancer and being a diabetic adds to it.He did say if things turned for the worst not to hesitate calling him or if after business hours get to the ER.Since he knows i am not one that loves going to a doctor let alone the ER that if he gets a call about me he will not hesitate to get their.Thanks :)

Thanks:) .Yea this group of members are very speciel:cool:

I'm glad all turned out to be okay. You got me really worried with the post you made since I've lost most of my close family to cancer (both grandfathers, uncle, mother) and my father had lung cancer but so far it has not come back. So yeah I freak a bit when I hear the word or know someone in person or even over the net who has it, has had it, and I can say I know what you have and are going though. Like a lot of people have said before my post, I too am really keeping you in my thoughts and prayers now - since I did not know that about you!!!

Glad all turned out well. I will add you to my prayers because we all can use a little prayer :)

You are 100% telling the truth:) .Thanks

I am very relieved to hear that it wasn't something serious enough to be admitted. I lost a grandmother to cancer. It took her from me before I could get to know her (I was only 1 yr. old). And everyone who knew her says that I look just like her. It's heartbreaking, but a big compliment because she was a very pretty lady. I don't mean to ramble...I just know how hard it can be on a family. Stay strong Joe!:)
