update on my Uncle with stomach cancer

[Nomilynn]

I don't have a lot of details, but he was taken to hospital today in an ambulance. He is really struggling with his radiation treatments; he's lost a LOT of weight and he was pretty skinny to begin with. Please pray for him and his family :(

[anna_66]

So sorry to hear about his hard struggle. He will be in my prayers.

[slick]

More prayers on the way!

[Nomilynn]

The news is not good :(

for the next 24-48 hours, it's a critical situation. Please, please pray for him :(

[Airedalekisses]

Wish you could just yell at disease and it would go away! If you could I'd lose my voice for your uncle-it's not fair is it?

[wolfsoul]

My prayerswill be with your uncle and family! I really hope he will be alright. :( Please, do keep us updated!

[CountryWolf07]

[popcornbird]

:( I'm so sorry to hear this. :( May he get well soon.

[Nomilynn]

Thanks everyone. The latest update, which was a few hours ago, was that he was resting comfortably and his colour was looking better. I think I can take that as a fairly good sign. PT Prayer is working yet again! :)

[wolfsoul]

Glad to hear he's doing better! :)

[Kfamr]

Hopefully he will continue to get better and better.:)

[lovemyshiba]

I hope your uncle continues to do better.
Your family willl remain in my prayers.

Naomi, I am glad to read that your uncle is resting comfortably.
I hope he will continue to improve.

[anna_66]

Glad to hear he's getting his color back & resting comfortably. :)

Naomi, prayers are on the way for your Uncle. It is good to hear that he is stable now and resting comfortably.

This morning, Nathan went to see him. Apparently Eddie can't talk or speak today. I don't know why, but my *guess* it's because of the infection throughout his body. But when he saw Nathan, he tried to get up, which in itself is a bit of a miracle. Ed's son said that he hadn't tried to get up yet.

Keep praying for him. The doctors are now saying he might not make it through the end of the day. I might even be going over there too later on, so I might not be able to update anyone. We'll see what happens.

Love,
Naomi

I hope your next update can bring better news. We'll be thinking of him and hoping he makes it through this {{{hugs}}}

[carole]

Sincerely hoping your Uncle can continue his fight against this awful disease.

My thought's are with you right now, take care, and Hugs to you.

[Nomilynn]

I went to see him, and I'm so glad I had the chance. I think he knew I was there when I arrived, but I don't think he knew we left. He was deteriorating that fast. He passed away on the 31st at about 12:30am. My aunt is holding up, but it's so hard. Right now she's surrounded in family, which is great. I will be going back to Vancouver on Tuesday to be with her and my family, and the memorial is on Friday.

Thanks for all the prayers. God must have heard them, because Eddie didn't suffer.

[Nomilynn]

I forgot to mention.. it wasn't stomach cancer. He had cancer in his esophagus. It's just that the tumour was so large that it was pushing against his stomach and closing in on his esophagus, making it hard for him to eat. I just didn't want to lead anyone astray on the facts

[wolfsoul]

I'm so sorry, Naomi. That's really terrible. :(

Please give your aunt my condolences. :( I'm glad that your family can support her at such a terrible time. :)

[anna_66]

I'm glad to hear that he didn't suffer.

Your family will be in my thoughts tonight.

Naomi I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle. I know what it's like to lose a loved one from cancer, I lost one of my aunts a few years ago from it but unlike you I never got to say goodbye. I'll be sure to keep you and your family in my thoughts.

[carole]

A very sad time for you all, my sincere condolences to you and your family, especially your aunt.

I am glad Uncle Eddie did not suffer, that was a real blessing, but so sad to hear he lost his battle.

Take care and HUGS to you.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Naomi, I'm very sorry to hear that your Uncle has passed away. :( At least he didn't suffer and your aunt has her family around her for emotional support. Please give your aunt my condolences. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. {{{HUGS}}}

I'm sorry to hear this Naomi. It's a terrible thing to watch someone dying of cancer and it can go on for such a very long time. Your uncle's suffering is over now.
