Cancer spread to spine, pelvis and lymph node

Disciple of Prayer
Hello ###. I have an update and prayer request please re my mother's (###)health. The cancer as shown by a recent PET scan reveals it has spread to the spine, pelvis and lymph node. Originally in the bladder and kidney. Conventional treatment is not an option due to the side effects and her age. Not a report we expected and of course difficult to accept. Healing is obviously our desire but if the Lord's will determines otherwise then we pray for peace, trust and acceptance. And minimal pain for her. Finances are also a major concern as she was left with literally nothing when my father passed. And as caregiver I cannot work full time. Thank you and I'll keep you posted. ###
 
We have heard your update concerning your mother's health and we are carrying this burden with you before the Lord in prayer. Our hearts are deeply moved by this difficult report of the cancer spreading from the bladder and kidney to the spine, pelvis and lymph node, and by the reality that conventional treatment is not an option because of her age and the side effects. We grieve with you and we stand with you in asking for the Lord's mercy, comfort and provision in these very hard days.

We admire the faith you expressed in desiring healing while also surrendering to the Lord's will and asking for peace, trust, acceptance and minimal pain for her. That surrender honors God. We are reminded that He is still the Healer, for it is written Bless Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases Psalm 103:2-3 and But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh Jeremiah 30:17. At the same time we rest in His sovereignty, knowing that He is near to the brokenhearted, Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18, and that His grace is sufficient for each day, for My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness 2 Corinthians 12:9. We pray for your mother's comfort, that the Lord in His mercy would lessen her pain and surround her with His presence, and that He would grant you both a peace that surpasses understanding, as we are promised in Philippians 4:6-7 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

We also lift up the financial burden you carry and the sacrifice you are making as her caregiver unable to work full time. The Lord sees your faithful care and He cares for both of you. We take comfort that My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19 and that we can cast all our anxiety on Him because He cares for us 1 Peter 5:7. We encourage you to make your needs known to your local church family and community, for God often provides through His people, and to seek wise counsel regarding palliative care and other support services that can help ease her pain and ease your load. Remember also the promise Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28 and Fear not, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you Isaiah 41:10. Take time to rest in Him as you pour yourself out for your mother.

We noticed you spoke of the Lord's will, and we want to gently encourage you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and assurance of His hearing. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life, No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If we have not already placed our trust in Jesus as Savior, we can do so by confessing with our mouths and believing in our hearts, for If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9. It is in His name we pray with confidence, and we encourage you to bring every request before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ.

We pray together now. Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear mother to You. You know her body, every cell, and You know the cancer in her spine, pelvis and lymph node. We ask if it be Your will that You would touch her and bring healing, for nothing is impossible for You. If healing in this life is not Your will, we ask that You would grant her minimal pain, deep peace, and the assurance of Your presence each day. Comfort her and let her feel Your arms around her. Provide for her financial needs and for this faithful child who cares for her, open doors of provision, help and rest, and strengthen them both when they are weary. Help them to trust You more each day and to know that You are working all things together for good for those who love You Romans 8:28. Draw them both closer to Jesus and give them hope that is anchored in eternal life through Him. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

We continue to hold you both before the throne and we thank you for keeping us posted. Keep casting your cares on Him, keep seeking Him in His Word daily, and allow others to help bear this burden with you. We are praying for ongoing peace, trust and the Lord's perfect provision and comfort for you both.
 
We were so sorry to hear your update about your mother. Learning the cancer has spread to her spine, pelvis and lymph node after starting in the bladder and kidney is a lot to take in, and we understand why this feels so difficult to accept. We hear both your hope for healing and your honest prayer for peace and trust whatever the Lord allows, and for her to have as little pain as possible.

Caring for your mother while carrying the financial weight after your father's passing and not being able to work full time is a heavy load. It is understandable to feel stretched thin and worried about what lies ahead.

A couple of gentle next steps that may help you both feel more supported:

Talk with her medical team about comfort and pain management. Even when conventional treatment is not an option due to age and side effects, a palliative care team or hospice nurse can walk alongside you to help keep pain minimal and answer day to day questions. Please keep them involved alongside prayer.

For the financial pressure, it can help to ask to speak with a social worker at her clinic or hospital. They often know about local resources, benefits, and community or church assistance, and a financial counselor can help you think through budgeting in this season.

Please remember you need support too. Lean on family, friends or your church family to share caregiving when you can, even for short breaks.

Father, we lift this dear mother and her child to You. Bring Your peace that steadies hearts, keep her comfortable and free from severe pain, and give wisdom and provision for every practical need. Guide each decision and draw them close to You in these days. In Jesus' name, amen.
 
Your sorrowful update concerning your dear mother has been received with much tenderness of heart and has been carried at once to the throne of grace.

To hear that the disease has spread to the spine and pelvis and lymph node, having begun in the bladder and kidney, is indeed a heavy report to bear, and it is right that the heart should feel its weight. We do not pretend otherwise. Yet we are grateful for the spirit in which you write, desiring healing and at the same time bowing to the Lord's will, praying for peace and trust and acceptance and for the easing of pain. That is a holy and wise posture.

You have said well. All things are under regulation and have an appointed place in God's plan, and nothing happens but what He permits or ordains. As surely as God's will is the axle of the universe, so in grace we may rest assured that He is King, willing to do as He pleases and having mercy on whom He will have mercy. His thoughts toward His people are thoughts of peace, and though His way may be hidden from us for a season, His Word shall stand. He sees not only what He is doing now, but what will come of what He is doing, and the future joy and usefulness which will come of present pain and grief.

In this dark world of sin the blood of Jesus whispers peace within. The prophet has told us, You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. That perfect peace is not the absence of sorrow, but peace even with sorrows surging round, when the mind is stayed upon the Lord. When fear rises, as it must in such an hour, let the Psalmist's resolve be yours, What time I am afraid, I will trust in You. To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.

We have prayed and will continue to pray that the Lord in His mercy would be pleased to grant healing to your mother if it be His gracious will, and that whether He grants that mercy or calls her by another and more lasting healing into His own presence, He would grant her minimal pain and a quietness of spirit. If she is in Christ, death itself loses its sting, and even the dying struggle is held in His hands. We pray that she may know the peace of resignation to God, acquiescence in His will and conformity to it, for when the will is brought to delight in God's will, the fangs of the sorrow are extracted.

We have prayed also for your daily provision. The Lord who feeds the ravens will not allow a soul that rests upon Him to perish for lack of daily bread. Your care for your mother at such cost to your own strength and livelihood is seen by Him who bestows upon His people all good things and withholds no good thing from them that walk uprightly. We ask Him to open such doors of help as He sees fit, to sustain you in body and spirit as you bear this burden of love, and to give you strength for each day as it comes. Cast your care upon Him, for He cares both for you and for her, and in Jesus keeping you are safe, and she is safe also.

Be assured you are not forgotten before the Lord. We will keep your mother and you before Him, asking for His peace to rule in your hearts, His presence to be felt in the sick room, and His will to be done with gentleness and mercy.

May the Lord keep you both in perfect peace as you trust in Him, and may you find that to love His law and to trust His name gives great peace of mind even in this trial.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
