Mom has cancer and may only have 15 days left. Please pray! - Missy - 07-24-2017 04:55 AM
Hello all,
I am requesting prayer from all my fellow prayer warriors: PLEASE pray for Judy (my mom)!
My immediate family is in the Christian faith and we have seen the Lord's hand perform many miracles even within our own family.
A few quick prayer reports to get your faith stirred:
Mom:
When my grandmother was pregnant with my mom the doctors and nurses suggested to her to have an abortion because the baby was going to be born with Spina Bifida. They had told her the child was going to go through a lot of pain even just growing up and had given her a "lifespan estimate" of under 30 years.
My grandmother refused and sure enough my mom was born with Spina Bifida. She suffered for years with pain where she could barely stand and had a lot of walking problems throughout her childhood. Not really able to do much without having to sit on the sidelines a lot and watching everyone else.
Around age 22 my mom came to Christ and fed up with her pain, cried out to God and had those around her in her church pray for her. That night changed everything for her - she was healed entirely of her pain, walking issues, and has more than doubled her "lifespan estimate", now being 64.
My parents wanted to have children and every baby delivery doctor she went to suggested against her having children, not only for her own health reasons but because her children are extremely likely to suffer from spina bifida as well. She found a Christian doctor who told her if she believes God wants her to have children, to pray, and do so. I have three older siblings and all four of us have absolutely no health problems whatsoever.
Dad:
My dad was born with epilepsy and suffered from seizures throughout his life from a young age. Him having a driver's license was ruled out early on and it was understood he would never drive. He was on heavy medications to keep his seizures under control and but still suffered a lot from them and side effects of the medication.
My father meets my mother and becomes a Christian. There was a service going on at their church and my dad was prayed for - and was healed immediately of his epilepsy. He felt different and went to his doctor (who is not a Christian and was very confused) and was given the clear to stop taking the medication. He has had no signs of ever having epilepsy and just retired from driving for a living for a trucking company of 38 years.
Uncle:
My uncle was having a lot of problems concentrating and was just overall not doing well. He went in for a lot of tests and they couldn't figure out what the problem was until finally they came to realize he had a tumor growing inside his skull on his brain. They informed him it was too big and too dangerous to operate on. He was given up to 6 months to live at the time.
Our family came together and prayed for him. After weeks of him constantly going back so they could monitor his tumor growing (and it was) - he goes in after all the prayer - the tumor vanished. Literally vanished. They had no words to say about it except, whatever he's doing to keep it up. Even though this happened he's not a believer - but he was definitely healed.
Prayer request:
In a very high amount of cases where someone comes down with lymphoma they're gone within a few years. Judy (my mom) had been told it was extremely likely she would be taken by the cancer within a maximum of 5 years - well, it's been 8. (Praise God!)
After so many different medications and different forms of chemo - none of them were working. She had been told if she's able to be healthy enough to recover - she's a candidate for stem cell replacement. This is an absolute last resort because it only works 40-50% of the time.
What they do is kill off all cancer cells with heavy doses of chemo over several days and then take a matched donor's cells and introduce them into her immune system and if her body doesn't react negatively and accepts the cells as her own - she begins to develop a brand new immune system. They know within 2 hours whether or not her body has accepted it. If it doesn't accept it, her body starts attacking itself and she's gone.
Praise God her one brother is a match for her and he is going to be there during the whole procedure as the donor, otherwise it would've taken months or longer to find a matched donor anywhere even remotely close.
Her body wasn't taking to any of the medication over the last 8 years but was told about a medication that was her very last resort and they held off all this time because of the side effects AND it only has a 30% success rate. Well, to their surprise - thank you Lord, it's working!
She is now booked to go in for August 3rd for heavy doses of chemo until August 8th, when they're doing the stem cell procedure.
As your sibling in Christ, I ask that you please pray that the procedure will be a success that she may continue to be a walking and talking miracle who always gives God the glory. Please pray for us, her husband, her children, her grand children, and the rest of our family that we do not fall off course but continue walking in Him regardless the outcome.
May God fulfill His will and not ours - that His master plan unfolds exactly as He desires even if this means He calls her home.
The Lord's hand has been at work throughout this entire ordeal and she has already beaten the odds so many times. She was healed of her pain that she was told she'd have for life, she's outlived the age by more than double what the doctors had predicted before she was born, she had four children who did not have any health problems passed down to them, she was given the very last resort medication that had a 30% success rate and it succeeded, and lastly, I would LOVE to come back to report that with God and your prayers, she now beat another 40% success rate AND recovered from the chemo.
I truly hope it's more than wishful thinking but I do get the feeling the reason He allowed the very last resort medication (30% success rate) succeed then to bring her through this was so there's no doubt it was Him all along, with her repeatedly beating the odds.
Thank you for your time in reading this, those of you that have. Whether you pray for us or just simply skimmed through this - I'm praying for you that you may walk in Him for eternity and bear much fruit throughout your life walking in the Spirit.
God bless!

Lord we know you still can perform miracles in our life, this family has seen it with their own eyes, and so have I many times over and over again. Give them your peace Lord, and help Judy to survive this cancer, if it's your perfect will. If you have other plans for her in the there after, give her and her family your peace, and strength to see them through it all. I know you always work in mysterious ways, and have a plan for each one of us. May they also understand it Lord, and not be afraid of what is to come. Lord you now I too have my first daughter laying in a hospital with terminal cancer at this moment, and is suffering so much. I pray for her too, and for my husband and me who have been taking care of her for over two years. We feel so worn out and tired Lord, revive us too, give us all the strength we need to accept your will in the live of our love ones and in ours. I give you thanks for all the years you have given our loved ones to enjoy and be proud of them. So many good memories to keep in our heart, and they will always be with us. Let your love and light shine even in the hardest times in our life. I pray and give you thanks in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ amen.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Father, In the name of Jesus, We take authority over this cancer, bind this cancer, and command it to leave Judy completely. By the power of the blood of Jesus and in His name be healed and made completely whole. We ask, Father, that You strengthen and restore Judy in every cell that has been afflicted by this cancer. Bring honor and glory to Jesus and Your Name through the testimony of her healing. Bless and encourage Judy's family. Thank You, Father, In Jesus name. Amen

Lord let us always remember with You All things are possible. We can see this even by this testimony here. You have worked miracles in this family's
life and You can continue to do so - I pray for this person's mom - that all will be well. Bless this person's faith- Missy- which I believe has grown stronger by all the miracles she has witnessed.
Lord we know if it be Your will You can make her mom completely well.
I pray in the loving name of Jesus.

Lord Father You are still our God of healing miracles despite the scoffing and doubts of this unbelieving world. We come before You mighty Lord in awe and humility praying for our sister in faith Judy. Touch her body Father and destroy every trace of cancer within it so that the doctors and medical professionals would be astounded and give You the glory and honor for a miracle done in their midst. Bless her faithful daughter and strengthen her as she waits for a miracle of healing in her mom's body. Lord we pray and come in agreement for this as well for her Lord and we give you all the praise and glory and honor for this Lord.
I pray this in Jesus mighty and precious name,
Amen

Hey all,
I saw my mom one last time yesterday before she went in today for the first day of chemo and there was a very strong presence of peace throughout the house. God is with us and there's no doubt about it, we can feel it. She wasn't sad and was extremely optimistic - literally zero tears throughout the day. I attribute it to all the prayers going out for us for strength and the Holy Spirit to comfort us.
We were informed the stem cell procedure may be happening on the 9th instead of the 8th, just for those that may pray on the day for her.
Thank you all so so much, I'm praying that God truly blesses you all.
In Him,
Missy

Thank you Lord for the peace you are giving this family at this difficult time, we give you all the honor and glory. Continue to give them your peace and strength in Jesus name I pray, amen.
Pls Pray: Mom is recovering from heavy chemo, radiation, and stem cell. - Missy - 08-13-2017 12:41 AM
Hey all,
Thank you SOOO much for your support!
I just wanted to touch base and let everyone know - so far so good. We're still looking to give the praise report when we come to hear that her body has accepted the stem cell procedure and is making good recovery. When we do hear that, and we're very optimistic that we will, the first thing we'll do is give God the glory, then I'll update this post to let you all know.
The worst thing she's had through all of this so far is hallucinations from all the medications she's been on. Wednesday and Thursday she was doing really well. Friday she was very tired and wasn't social at all until Saturday morning when she was starting to return to her normal self. I can only imagine how hard the body is fighting so the up and down energy is fully expected.
On Saturday they started her on anti-rejection medication for the white blood stem cells they introduced to help her immune system fight back. From what we know this is a "safety" and is standard procedure so it doesn't necessarily mean her body has rejected anything.
I've been loving this community - don't stop being great!
God bless,
Missy

Loving Father
Comfort, strengthen and heal Missy's mother- bless their positive and prayerful attitudes in the midst of this difficult situation. Only You can send the peace that surpasses all understanding. You are the calm in the storm. Let all go well as You carry this mother through this situation by grace, step by step. May the Lord Jesus be glorified in all this.
