May I ask for a prayer request? My mom, 87, is a colon cancer survivor. I take her back to the oncologist for follow-up appointments regularly. She has to have a blood test done each time, for a CEA tumor marker number. It is supposed to be in the lower single digits, but hers has always been in the teens. We found out today that her test from last week has jumped up to 54. I am so frightened. Please pray for my mom and her care team. Thank you.

You, your family and your Mom are in my prayers as well as all of those taking care of her. I understand your fear as I take my Mom in for regular cancer checks as well. She has survived breast cancer, melanoma and lymphoma. Every time we go in the anxiety is high but I have learned from her to put it in God's hands. His will be done. She is 85 and tells me not to worry because she has had a good long life and is ok if any of her cancers reoccur. That doesn't mean I want to lose her but I put it in God's hands. Hugs.

Thank you. My mom also has said she is satisfied so far. She tells us that she is, after all, an old lady. I'm just not ready to lose her. But I am thankful that God has provided a way for all of her children to be involved in her care.

Your mom and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs*, Deb

thank you. It is a stressful time but our faith is growing.

I am praying with you for your mom and for you about your fear. No one wants to lose a parent for any reason, but she's had a good, long life and she has survived cancer once already. I'm sure you have been fully blessed by the years with her, although right now is stressful. God bless you both.

thank you. I know that my time with my mom is short, so I try to value it as much as possible.

Sending prayers for your mom and you, too

Cancer is such a cruel disease. They have decided that now she will need another PET scan.

Best wishes to your mum.

thank you. She has been scheduled for a PET scan next week and we will go from there.

Know exactly what she is dealing with and she is now in my prayers. God bless you both. Prayers from "Cute " have helped and still do keep me going.

Thank you. We are still waiting for the nurse to call back with the doctor's recommendation for next steps. It is comforting to have the prayers of this community

Of course, your mother is in my prayers. Please let us know how she is doing! Love and Hugs, Laura

So sorry to hear this news. I will pray for her.

thank you so much. My mom will call the oncologist's office tomorrow to find out the next steps.

I will certainly Jenny. It's so scary getting results back when they are not in your favour. Love Chris

It really is. They don't even call her with the results first, they email my sister, who then has to tell our mom.
