Hi Eagle,
I just came across this post. I'm sorry to hear the disappointing news but am joining our sisters in prayer for good results from the radical treatment.
Everyday there are new discoveries being made. Maybe this new treatment is just what he needs!
Please tell him he is in my heart this holiday season.
I understand what you are saying about your brother's spiritual feelings. My Dad was the same way. He wanted cards and letters from everyone but he wanted them to tell him about what they were doing in their lives, not just cards saying how sorry they were. I guess he didn't want to dwell on his own sickness, which is understandable.

I join with others in praying and hoping that God will give all of you the strength you need to get through the next step of this journey. May His peace be yours....

Eagle,
I'm praying for a miracle for your brother and that the doctors be blessed with the wisdom of the Great Physician. He may have a long hard road ahead and I'm sure you are both exhausted, but love will empower you.

Along with Evie and others I will be praying for both of you in this season of peace and miracles. Surround yourself with love and allow peace to fill you.

Eagle, I lit a candle and said the rosary for your brother last night as promised. Tell him he has two people in Oklahoma who hold him tightly in prayer.

luv,
chick

Eagle my friend....you, your brother and your family are on my "special" prayer list. This is a particularly difficult time of the year to be dealing with this I know but faith will help all of you through it. Big Hugs.....

I am so sorry Eagle, please forgive me the PM I sent you. I hadn't seen this post yet. I would like to send him a card as well.

I really pray he is going to be healed. I pray for you to have the strength and endurance. I hope you are taking some breaks too my dear friend.

I love you alot!

Cathi

Eagle,
As you know I've been away from the boards and am just now reading this post. Your brother is being surrounded by love and prayers of the most giving and caring kind; that of the women on this forum.

We will lift up our voices in prayer and they will become one, and mighty!

We're holding you all very close to our hearts during this difficult time. God bless, JJ

Eagle, please send me your mailing address so I have it right in front of me. I'll gladly send him a card with a note and leave it unsealed. That way you can read it before you give it to him. Thank you for letting us be involved in caring for all of you.

Also, it is human to be upset by such news. Some people think prayers don't help. I'm not one of them. Who knows what the news might have been had we not been praying...

Eagle Heart, how did your brother do over Christmas? Hope he had a wonderful warm Christmas in the love of his family.
My best wishes and prayer goes to him and you, for the strength you will continue to need.

I thank you all so much with all my heart for caring as you do! What joy you bring to my life.

Cathi, I loved your PM and will not forgive you for sending it. You warmed my heart with your thoughtfulness.

JJ, I'm glad you're feeling better - I've missed your voice terribly!

Dotsie, "Who knows what the news might have been had we not been praying..." I've thought of that many, many times over the past few weeks - how much of a difference your prayers and care have made, not only in my brother's continuing ability to fight this beast, but in MY ability to stay serene and still enough for him to lean against as he does battle.

Hannelore, he drove himself over (and back home) on the 24th, 25th and today. Even just that is both good and bad - good in that it's good that he's getting himself out and about; bad in that it takes a visible toll on his energy. He's very weak and noticeably pale today. It's frightening. And watching him on Christmas Day broke my heart, and continues to bring tears to my eyes if I pay too close attention to just how weak he is becoming right before our eyes.

I do need strength. And courage. And hope. I'm finding it here, through your prayers and support, and adamantly clinging to God's avowal that He loves us beyond our imagination. Deep breaths. Now I can go back upstairs and sit with him without leaking...
