[Faith-talk] Serious Prayer: My Dad's Cancer Going from Bad to Worse

[Mary Donahue]

Hello everyone,

    Awhile back, I asked prayers for my dad, Dick Jeatran, who is battling 
cancer. First, last year, it was bladder cancer. Then it spread to one of 
the lymph nodes around Christmas, and after returning to Wisconsin from 
Arizona during the summer, he underwent chemotherapy every four to six 
weeks. Now, since he and my mother are in Arizona for the winter, the cancer 
has spread to his liver and to his hip, the one that has not been replaced. 
He will not be undergoing any more chemotherapy, but instead will be 
undergoing two weeks of radiation therapy, which may relieve the pain in his 
hip, but right now, it's touch and go. I am planning on going to Arizona the 
week between Christmas and New Year's. At any rate, if you would all keep 
him in your prayers, that would be appreciated. He is past 83, so he is not 
young anymore.

    Thank you in advance for any prayers.

Mary Donahue
