I am heartbroken!
 

Well my stepfather has been in intensive care for 15 days now. We just found out today that he has bone marrow cancer.It is terminal and nothing else can be done. His red blood cell count is very low and decreasing rapidly. My mother is disabled and this is tearing up the whole family. He went into the hospital with vomiting and diarrhea and ends up with terminal cancer. I have been making arrangements for hospice and practically just got home. I am in a state of shock, it feels like it is a nightmare.

Oh how terrible. I swear it seems like cancer is striking so many people these days.I will say a prayer for you and your family.God Bless you all!

OMG I am so sorry this is happening. Holly and I are sending prayers your way. You might need to be strong for your mom. I am glad that you took the initiative to make arrangements. we'll keep you in our thoughts.

I'm so sorry to hear the news about your stepfather. I hope you are able to spend a lot of time with your family right now.

Sending thoughts, hugs, and prayers your way.

Thank you for all your prayers, it is just unbelievable and everything has happened so suddenly.

I am so sorry to hear this. I pray that you will have the strength to help your family through. This is not easy, not fair, and so not right.

Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

You have my prayers. I will ask our Dear Lord to hold your Grandpa, and you, and your entire family in His loving arms and give you much needed strength and comfort in the days and weeks to come. Sending hugs :ghug:

Prayers for your family. May God's grace see you through.

Oh girl - I'm SO SORRY !! :( :( :( Your family will be in my prayers

I'm so sorry for you and your family........I pray you and your family have the strength to get you through....:hands:

My mom died from a type of inoperable cancer, so just know that you are not alone. You are in my prayers.

Just take each day one step at a time and know that the hurt will ease up with time. Let grief takes its course and Jesus will bring you out the other side a much stronger person.

Oh... and puppy kisses???? They are some of the best therapy! So get lots!

Hang in there, girl. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

I lost my mom and my baby sister to breast cancer. I wish they would come up with cure. I just hate that disease and what it does to people! The only thing I think is a blessing is that at least you have the opportunity to say and do the things you need to do or have always wanted to do. Although I still think I was left with some things I wish I had still done. But I was able to say good bye and I love you and things like that. My sister was told on a Friday that there was nothing more the doctors could do and that she did not have a lot of time. She was gone the following Thursday but during that week, my siblings and I never left her without at least one of us. Many friends and neighbors came to say good bye and offer whatever they could. It was one of the most beautiful but sad things I think I have ever experienced. I know how much of a shock it must be. Even a year later, I still look back on that week and it all seems like such a nightmare and I constantly dream that she is back with us and we still have hope. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I wish I could give you some magical answer but I just don't have one for you. All I can say is draw on the comfort of those that love you and find comfort in that. Theresa :cry:

I'm so sorry for your stepfather and your family. You are taking great care of things. It does seem cancer is running rampart lately. I am sending prayers your way! Take care of your mom and yourself! (((HUGS)))

So Sorry For Your Sadness.....

What a horrible thing to be hit with. I am so sorry. I lost both of my parents and several relatives to cancer. It is devastating, both to the patient and to the family. We are all here for you. I'll keep you, your stepdad and family in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you all for all your kind words and prayers, I really need them now. I cried a lot last night and it made me feel a little better. It just seems so unbelievable and so unfair. Thanks again :ghug:

Thoughts and prayers headed out for your family:hands:

I am so sorry. I will keep you all in my prayers. My Mom passsed suddenly a few months ago but we did have one week with her from the time of her stroke until her passing and just use whatever time you have with your family. Had we known my Mom would have been gone in a week we would have not left her alone at night in the hospital, but we thought she would come home one day. That is my only regret that although we were there all day and evening the nights must have been so scary for her.

I'm so sorry. I've been kind of dealing with the same thing. Just recently we were hit with the news my dad has been diagnosed with cancer in his bladder and prostate. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

That is horrible, I am so very sorry. I will be praying for you and your family

I am so sorry that your family is going through this devestating time.
Prayer's coming for your stepfather.

Thanking you all again for your prayers he is deteriorating fast!

yospa im so sorry :( this is terrible news in such little time. i will have you in my thoughts and prayers. if you need someone to talk to im only a phone call away.

My heart aches for you and your family having gotten the devastating news that your step-dad has cancer. I lost both my Mom and Dad to cancer. Mom just died in February and I'm still hurting so bad and missing her. She lived only about 2 weeks from her diagnosis and as much as I wouldn't have wanted her to suffer longer, she just left us so fast and it's so hard. I'm sending big hugs to you and your family. I'm so sorry and I will be praying for you and yours.

I'm so sorry to hear this :( I will keep you and your family in my prayers

I am so sorry, prayers to you and your family
