Unhappy Prayers Needed!!!

Hi All, well alot of you know my dad has been fighting with cancer for a few years now. He has had a rough couple of months in and out of the hospital for severe pain. A month ago they put a pain pump in his back so it will directly put the pain meds in the tumor on his spine.

Over a week ago, the pump was not working rigth, so they operated on him and fixed that. then he got home a few days later and tried to get out of bed by himself instead of calling mom as he did not want her to wake up and fell and broke a rib.

He just got home from the hospital again 2 days ago, we were hoping he was finally going to get a fresh start as he has lost over 50 lbs and is so weak. He callled mom and my sister into the bedroom yesterday and said he could not feel his legs. Called the doctor, they sent him by ambulance back to the hospital and after doing a CT scan and an MRI late last night they found a new tumor growing out of the old one on his spine. it is pretty big covering 3 vertirbre and has gotten that big in less than a month. SO needless to say he may never walk again.

The doctors are meeting with them this morning to tell dad. Mom and Chris were told around 11 last night and Mom just really broke down. It just sucks, so if you all would not mind please say a prayer for all of them. we sure could us all the prayers we can get. I just hope that dad does not give up after this. He is too weak for any treatment and I know his body can not take much more. I just want him to be pain free. I will keep you all posted, your prayers worked wonders for Bill just want them to work for him as well.
Thanks
Jules
