Warm thoughts and Prayers needed!

I'm just fishing for prayers or warm thoughts for my Mother. Tomorrow, she will have neuro-surgery for a cancerous brain tumor. Previous chemo and externally sourced radiation attempts are apparently not working. She is fortunately at one of the best cancer treatment facilities in the world, MD Andersen in Houston, Texas.

BTW- Her name is Linda

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Greg

She's in good hands...they have a top notch medical staff and plenty of good people around there. That being said, it is still hard to bear the thought of such a major surgery on a loved on. My prayer is that God will comfort you and the rest of your family. May God guide the doctors in their efforts and decisions, and ultimately may His will be accomplished through it all.

Let us know how it all goes.

gtex,

My brother's wife has been battling cancer for almost 3 years. Every night I pray for her and all the other people that are battling cancer. I will certainly include your mom in my prayers.
