A short note to ask you to send out a prayer request for a friend. She’s been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer with possible other complications. Her husband is by her side. Both of her children (daughters) were to arrive today. She is not going to allow any chemotherapy. Hospice is being called in for assistance.
I don’t know if it has been decided for sure that the cancer cells in her lungs are the known cancer cells … or if they are a form that has lain dormant for 16 years after her ’bout with breast cancer, when they thought she had 4 months to die.
The doctor told her husband she could live anywhere from 6 weeks to a year. She’d need to improve a LOT to be able to make the trip north this year, we fear … plus ALL the doctors she’s gotten established with are down here and have known her for years.
If there is any way you could put this request for prayer through the Emmaus community I’m sure we’d all appreciate that, too?
We’re all devastated and could use all the prayer we can get!

This is an Urgent prayer request. I am requesting prayer for a friend of mine.. He is a young man, 35 yrs old with two kids and is married to a very good friend of mine. I was just informed that he has been having problems with his heart and the Dr’s think he might have a blockage. He is going in on April 26th, Thursday, for a heart catherization. They have not told their kids, ages 13 and 8, as they do not want them to worry. Please pray that the Dr’s are able to fix the problem with no complications and pray for the family as well.

I just received an update to the prayer request a couple days ago. My friends husband had his heart catherization on Thursday. The Dr’s found he had a 95% blockage in his main artery and they found a blood clot on the other side of the blockage. When they tried to put the first stint in his artery started to tear so they had to fix that and then placed 3 stints. He stayed overnight and was released today. The Dr’s told him that he was lucky to be alive, had the clot moved he would have had a massive heart attack. His wife is a very strong believer in God, but her husband is not. HE now feels that he has a new lease on life. Please pray for continued healing for him and the whole family and that he will come to find God. There are some other family issues with her dad and family that they could use some extra prayers.
