[DENISE517]

My Dad has been having some trouble....After he eats he seem to get sick and can't keep his food down, etc. He went to the doctor for this and has had several different test done and they havent found anything. Well the last doctor visit they did blood work as they always do and he got a call saying his hemoglobin was down to 12.( which is really low in a man) if it drops down more he may need a blood transfusion. They started him on iron and rechecked it in a few weeks...still never came back up. He's been sooo tired and has been having difficultly breething as well. They referred him to the Cancer Center for help. They have ruled out colon cancer cause the did the scope thing. They now have found he is losing blood in his urine. No signs of it, only under a microscope. They called him at 2:00 on Thurs and wanted him to come in for a sonagram of his bladder/ kidneys at 4:00 that day (which I've never heard of them doing that so fast - so that scares me). We are waiting to hear the results from that. He has to go in tomorrow and have iron iv's for a while to try to get some iron back into his body. They have suggested he does this 2-3 times a week until they find out what is wrong. He has to go i think on wed of this week to have a scope up thru his penis (not sure what they are checking for) but they are thinking its cancer somewhere since his iron levels are so zapped and with the blood being in his urine. Please pray for him and that if its God will it not be Cancer. He is a Good Christian man and is faith believing, but sometimes its hard to have faith when he is feeling so bad. and please pray for God to uplift him and keep this spirits up.
