I need prayers!! My dad has been battling a form of skin cancer called "cutaneous t cell lymphoma" for a while now and none of the meds are working!!! His doctor said the only thing that will save him is a bone marrow transplant!!! I don't know how to deal with this and the only thing I want to do is stuff my face and have a cigarette, just to make myself clear I haven't!!! I have stayed good to myself. I just need prayers to get through this in one piece. The doctor said it's aggressive so unless he gets a transplant I don't know that he will make it to the end of 2012 and it scares me.

    I will pray for you and your dad. Throwing your health and all the good that you have been doing out the window, will not help anyone. Hang in there.

    Oh honey I'm soooo sorry!!!! I'm lifting up prayers for you for peace, understanding and letting God be in control. And lifting up prayers for your father that a donor will be found, that he will know a peace that surpasses all understanding and for the doctors to have the knowledge to do what is necessary!!! Praying for God's will to be done in both of your lives!!!

    Praying also for the bone marrow registry (which I'm on) that a match is found and they are willing to donate!!!

    I'm sorry to hear about that. I can honestly say I know how you feel. I have gone through a lot of loss, and in 2008 I lost my own dad. Please let me encourage you to stay healthy for your Dad, because your dad will be happy to know that you're staying strong and not caving into temptation. God will give you a "'peace that passes your understanding." You don't have to lean on substances, lean on God.

    Sorry if this is obvious - but has the family all been tested to see if any of them are a valid donor?.. In my little exp and knowledge of bone marrow transplants.. the family members all have seemed to be the best bet. Maye group em all up and make a day of it to go get tested.

    As someone on the bone marrow registry.. i can say that all it took was 3 or 4 cheek swabs.. and just send them back to them.. all was free.. ( dont know how common that is.. the free part.. my 'guess' is your dads or maybe your medical would pay for it.. if there Was a charge.. ).

    also.. giving bone marrow.. seems to be made a lot easier now.. apparently they put you on a type of 'dialysis' machine.. give you a certain drug.. and they can get the bone marrow out that way.. worst case scenario is the old fashioned needle type.

    Hope he is Not in a great deal of pain.. and everything works out.

    take care.

    They did, but they are only asking his brother to see if he is a match, then they will go to the donar bank. I have offered but I have to wait until after March since I am still breastfeeding my daughter who is only 8 months old. I don't know if I would even qualify since I am not blood!!! I got adopted( at 15 months old) by my aunt and uncle who is now my mom and dad!!! Long and short of it.

    Prayers for healing, comfort, & support for you and your family.

    Be good to yourself & remember stuffing your face won't solve any problems or make you feel better (I tend to want to do the same thing when I'm under alot of stress, & it helped me alot when someone said this to me - hope it helps you too). You can get through this. ((hugs))
