Turns out my father has been diagnosed with stage 3 liver cancer.

. The doctor told him he has about 6 months. with my new brother born this morning this is very hard on the family. I ask you guys to keep him in your prayers so that he might get a new liver before the cancer has a chance to spread.
Thanks guys

I'll pray for you too. I do hope that he gets a new liver in time. If he has faith that God will give him one; then God will give it to him.

Sending healing/surviving mojo and prayers your way. I got plenty and to spare.

In the meantime, I'm sure you're educating yourself on what he has. There are more resources online than you can shake a stick at, :google:

"liver cancer" and go down the list until your eyes cross and your brain short-circuits. That's what I did for mine. Knowing thine enemy makes a world of difference.

LiveSTRONG Day is coming up next Wednesday, find out if there's something happening in your area. We're having a press event in Washington D.C. between 1:30 and 2:30 that day too, so watch the news. Get the bracelet too, it's only a dollar and it chases the feeling of isolation far, far away. Heck, get a ten-pack and give them to the whole family.

Refuse to surrender! Don't allow him the luxury of "why me?" He got tough with you when you were a kid, if he falls into the self-pity trap pay him back to the penny! Then hug him.

If you want to talk, I'm available. Just PM me. I mean that!

I can't pray for you since I'm not a Christian, but I can give you and your father the best luck in the world.

This can only apply if it is in accordance with knowledge and free will. My beliefs forbid doing spellwork without the knowledge or willingness of the recipient.

-----
Let us cast out the negative and unwanted energies, so that only that which is of the light remains.

Now is the time of bringing things to fruition. As the light of the full moon shines upon my eyes and my hands, I send forth wholeness of body and absence of its disruption, internal or external, except as needed by the hands of healers to restore it to order.

So mote it be.
-----

The bit about the full moon is authentic. I happen to have it shining out the window right now, and I can see no better purpose for it at the moment than this. I wish your father well.

It should also be noted that prognoses are only "best guesses," and the medical literature is full of cases that were proven wrong. I once met a man who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer seven years earlier. According to all my medical knowledge, that shouldn't happen. But, appearantly, it none the less can and does.
