Grandma Oh-Oh

Hi All,

I am sure that most of you are aware of the situation with my Grandma but wanted to keep everyone up to date. She has been in and out of the hospital the past few weeks battling numerous things. Her latest diagnosis is not good but she is an AMAZING woman who is putting her complete faith in the Lord for taking care of her. She is battling cancer- for sure Ovarian and they also believe that she has colon and stomach cancer as well but these have not yet been confirmed. Last Monday, they went in to remove a mass from her stomach but were not able to because the mass has wrapped itself around her bladder and other parts of her body. They were not willing to take it out because they didn't know if she could survive the operation. She has been sent home for the time being and needs to rest and regain some strength back. They are going to start Chemotherapy in about 3 weeks. If the mass shrinks while doing the Chemo then they will stop treatment and try to take the mass out again. I ask that you pray for my Grandma- for her strength to begin to come back and for her healing to start so that they can proceed with the Chemo. I also ask that you pray for my Grandpa- he has been lost without his usual Opal in his life and he struggles daily with all that is going on. Finally, I ask that you pray for my mom and for Connie. They have been with my grandparents 24 hours a day this past month and they are worried and stressed to the max. They are amazing women with giving hearts but they too need love and encouragement as they deal with this. Thanks Everyone.
