My father is at the MD right now getting a procedure done to check out a suspicious tumor. I am so worried. My father is the person I feel closest to in all the world. Right now, I am struggling with my own faith. I am not sure if there is a god listening when I pray. But if people could pray or meditate for my family I would appreciate it.

Sending good thoughts and healing energy your fathe'rs way. I'm sorry he'll need surgery but glad the odds are in his favor.

The tumor is located in his bladder. There is a 70% chance it is not cancer. Thank you for your concern.

Dear Advena,

As one who walked that frightening walk last year, I must tell you that faith, prayers, and wonderful friends up-lifted me, as they can you. With the prayers and love of so many friends, I felt enclosed in a bubble of safety as we drove to the hospital. So, here I am today, a survivor! Please know that you and your father will be in my prayers. Do not be afraid to ask for help and encouragement. Most of us are very eager to help those in need. Blakeney

Just an update - My father had surgery today and it went well. It will take a week for the results of the biopsy but the surgeon was hopeful. Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers.

So happy to hear the surgery went well advena! I've been thinking about you because I too am so close to my dad and he is so dear and special to me.

Please keep us posted on his progress.

I just wanted to let everyone know that my father's tumor is noninvasive and no treatment is required. He is going to be fine. I feel so blessed and grateful.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for this!
