Hello Everyone,

I'm here today, because i need vast amount of prayers for my loved one. My Samuel has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer last summer, right before we met. He was very hesitant about telling me and almost backed out from starting a relationship in fear that the Cancer would push me away. Needless to say it takes a lot more than an illness to make me leave the side of someone i care about. Anyway, my Samuel has a VERY demanding job and he puts more into his work than he does in finding the time to take care of himself. I do my best to try to relieve him from the extra time that he doesn't have like prepare his meals, and researching about the Cancer trying to find alternative ways to fight it (i do not shy away from medical doctors, but i'm geared more toward the holistic approach).

He's a former Marine with this I-can-fix-it-myself mentality. Well, not in this case he can't. His Cancer went into remission in Jan. '12 and has returned. It hasn't spreaded, at least that's what he's telling me. He's a strong man. Mentally and physically. A firm believer in God, yet i know he's giving up. He's becoming discouraged. He fails to inform me about his health. I didn't know about his Cancer returning until a few days ago. He pretends that everything is good, not realizing that i will always be here for him through the good AND bad times. He's giving up and MY Faith is hanging on by a thread. I pray more for him than i do myself. I've been writing in my journal talking to God asking him to please relieve Sam from this illness, but lately i feel like my prayers aren't enough; that's why i turned to a global prayer forum.

My prayer request is to help him to not be discouraged; to find peace within himself and to know that he needs to make the time to take better care of himself. I pray for him to get a positive image of the Cancer becoming smaller and smaller with each passing day and that it will exist no more. I pray that he doesn't have to live in fear, and feel helpless, and that others are here to help!

Please everyone, help me. I don't know what do to. I need your prayers, because i feel like mine is not enough. I'm trying to stay strong and to show him my strength when he is weak, but i'm feeling a little discouraged myself. This Cancer MUST go away! Mentally, it's starting to break us down and i just don't know what to do anymore...

I Thank You in advance and May God Bless You All!
