an update on Sara and her family...

[emmasmommy]

I just got done talking to Sara, and it seems as if things aren't looking as good for Jeff as they had originally thought . the cancer has/had spread to his lymph nodes. I'm not sure if they got it all or not when they removed his lung, it was in 1 of the 12 nodes they took out, but he told her he doesn't want chemo. please pray for her for strength, for their family to get through this and that god has a plan for all of them. my heart is just broken for them.

[seatrout]

Oh no .. that is so terribly sad. My thoughts are with them

[mrshobbes]

PRAYING. HARD. Their whole family is in my heart right now.

[taracotta7]

Oh no. Not the news I was wanting to hear. Praying for them. And sending hugs to you Laura. I know it is hard being a bestie so far away. ((HUGS))

[eranslow]

Oh no! My heart hurts for them I will continue to keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

[Shawna]

Oh no, I will definitely continue to keep them all in my thoughts and prayers.

[ayaandjudah]

Oh gosh, today of all days this has reduced me to tears.

Maybe my husband can talk to jeff? I just want to help in any way I can.

So many hugs sent to her.

[knlchevys]

Oh, no. I feel so bad for them.

[neenee]

Oh no.....not the news I wanted or expected either. This brings tears to my eyes. I will continue to pray for the whole family. Sending my love and hugs.

[hollyxann]

Sending lots of prayers! That news breaks my heart.

[heathergw]

Oh no!!! This is not at all the news I was hoping for.... PRAYING SO HARD RIGHT NOW!!! Send my love and (((HUGE HUGS))) to Sara please... and (((HUGE HUGS))) for you being so far away, I know you wish you were closer and could help Sara out and I really hope you can get down there soon! Gosh, I wish my kids weren't sick, I'd totally come by and watch the kids for you and let you have some time alone with Sara on the phone...

[gypsystar]

Many, many prayers going up for them <3.

[Darcy Baldwin]

Oh, Sara - I'm so sorry. Hopefully, after the initial shock, Jeff will come change his mind about the chemo/radiation and take a more proactive approach. I'm praying mightily for you all!

(((HUGS))))

he's a pretty stubborn man, alisa, but I'll make sure Sara knows you offered that up.

[neenee]

Laura, is there anything we can do to help Sara out? Maybe all contribute some $ so we can get her gift cards to help with food expenses. I know when a family is spending that much time visiting in hospitals and such that they have to eat out a lot.

Any other ideas?

[KristinCB]

oh no (((((HUGS))) Prayers & love to you sara

[Melissa Bennett]

Oh gosh, I have no words. My heart just breaks for them. I will keep them in my prayers.

[Penny Springmann]

How heartbreaking. Sara, all of my prayers and love are with you and Jeff! I hope he changes his mind! (((((HUGS)))))

[emmasmommy]

I'll keep y'all posted. Sara's still kind of in shock. they're heading home today so once I talk to her and am able to get on the computer tonight, I'll get something worked out.

[Julie Billingsley]

oh no this is just horrible. Hopefully Jeff and Sara and his doctors can come to the best decision for his health. I'm so sad to hear this news. I wish I could be there for you Sara.

[LeeAndra]

I don't even know what to say. My heart hurts so much for them. Praying!

[Jengerbread88]

I truly hope they can come to a decision about his health. I am praying really hard for Sara and Jeff and their family.

[isaacsmom]

Oh no! This is not the news I was hoping to hear. Cancer is so hard. I'll continue to pray for both Sara and Jeff. Please share if there is anything we can do for them.

[Andrea Gourley]

i'm so sorry to hear this. i will continue to think about them. i hope he has a change of heart on the chemo. my dad is on chemo for stage 3 esophogeal cancer right now and i have to tell you he is doing fabulously on it. no nausea, little fatigue, maintaining his weight. chemo these days is very different than 10 years ago.

[pewtertm]

This hurts my heart to hear I will definitely be in prayer for strength for all of the family, and a change of heart for Jeff.

I totally agree on this! My FIL went thru chemo last year and if you were visiting him without the knowledge that he had cancer, you wouldn't have known that he was even remotely sick. He didn't loose any weight, no nausea, no fatigue, no hair loss... We had to force him to take rest or lay down because we felt that he would be tired. But he hardly did anything different than what he did before we found out that he had cancer.

I do agree that each cancer is different and have different outcome, but at the same time, wanted to give you hope that not all treatment are rough on your body. FIL had lympho cancer.

[Leila]

Sending prayers and love their way.

[jaylensmom]

so sorry to hear that...hopefully he will change his mind about chemo...

[maryinaz]

So sorry to hear this! My sister is the same way - she has vowed to never do chemo. She did a lot of research when her fiance' had cancer and came to that conclusion.

Prayers sent to all of you to find a way through this.

[lhaslem]

truly heartbreaking for your family Sara...sending lots of prayers...stay strong!

[FireWolf]

Such heartbreaking news...Thoughts and prayers are with them both.

[Gemma]

Omgosh, I must've missed earlier threads I'm sending lots of love and positive thoughts to Sara, her husband and the rest of the family!

[Lyd]

I'm so sad to hear that things are not going as well as they were hoping. I too hope that Jeff will do some serious research about the chemo before he writes it off completely, but it's obviously his decision to make. Big HUGS to Sara! I can't imagine how hard this is to deal with.

[kendallt]

So sorry to hear this! I love you, Sara!! I know it's hard and discouraging, but don't give up. Miracles happen every day, and I truly believe in the power of prayer. You guys have A LOT of people praying for you! Let us know if there's anything else we can do. Much love to you and your family!

[newdesigner5]

Praying and hoping for the best!

[k23m]

so sorry to hear this! I will be praying!

[misfitinmn]

Sending up sooo many prayers for you & your family, Sara. I am so sorry to hear this turn of events. Please, if there is anything we can do to help, let us know!

[tanyiadeskins]

I can not even imagine having to make those decisions. Many prayers for strength and guidance.
