Friends I am thankful to have this place to type. I really don't want to write this. A lot of stress right now.

We value your prayers and will update as information comes in.

This is very painful to share, as anxiety is creeping into my mind. I am just over 6 years past my cancer survival for 2 different types of lymphoma. Last week I found a lump on the side opposite where the cancer was last time. I have my initial visit with oncology Tuesday at 2:15pm for initial evaluation.

My greater concern (as if that weren't enough) is that yesterday, Melissa got a referral to a breast oncologist for a 1x2cm lump in the center of her left breast. We will not even have an appointment day for her to begin her journey until sometime on Monday.

And last of all, my Father has a prostate cancer that has returned after over 30 years of dormancy. He is 83, in otherwise great shape. Still works full time in real estate, drives, goes to the YMCA 3 days a week for a "spin class" and is full of life. The new occurrence began as a spot on one of his ribs. Radiation eradicated that spot, but now his PSA is rising so we know it is somewhere else. The average is 18 to 24 months after bone metastisis. I know that would make him 85 to 86 years old, but it's still terrible news and a very difficult and painful journey ahead.

Please pray that somehow neither of mine or Melissa's discoveries are malignant, and yet even more, that His will be done. He knows what is truly right and best and we are committed to that in faith.

Last time, TinyPiper was just a senior in high school. Now, she is 24 and while not self sufficient, she could survive. I am so very thankful for that.

I will post what I learn and when Melissa's initial will be at some point on Tuesday, God willing.

That's an awful lot, Mark. My heart feels heavy for you. Will be praying for what you asked...for healing, supernatural healing. And I'll be praying for peace as you wait on God for His will to become evident.
