My sister Gayle

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

I got an EMail from Gayle on Thursday and she has a PET scan on Aug 25th and follow-up with the Oncologist on the 28th. We are all praying for miraculous healing and that the scan will show no signs of cancer. She is a strong Christian and realizes the sovereignty of God and knows that God knew the number of days He had planned for her while He was forming her in Mom's womb. She said nothing holds her her except love of family and friends. All the remaining siblings (6 of us) and spouses are getting together early next month for dinner and going to Gayle's cabin for the afternoon. We try to get all of us together once a year and have for many years. I'm praying we will have a few years left to do this. My older brother passed away a few years ago after a long battle with cancer and I'm a second oldest and fair amount older than Gayle. I keep telling my younger siblings that I'm next and have no plans on leaving any time soon. I guess it doesn't work that way. Thanks again for your prayers. ____Dave

Gayle's PET scan showed no sign of cancer. The doctors still see several spots that appear to be tumors and have no idea what they are but told Gayle they aren't cancer. They have resumed he Cemo. This is the news we were praying for and everything is on track for a full healing from her battle . Thank you to all who prayed. ____Dave

The spots they were worried about were cancer and they tried chemo, but she had life threatening reactions to the chemicals and since she wasn't feeling sick they decided to wait and watch, and deal with it when they had to. Gayle has gotten sicker and the spots are now tumors and have spread. She still isn't a good candidate for Chemo or radiation because of the type and location of the cancer and her body's tolerance for the drugs, but they have no more options and will start chemo this week, and will, unless God intervenes be on it for life. Depending on how her body reacts this time it might not be for long. The last chemo reaction was in the chair being administered, and they had to resuscitate her and that's why they stopped it before. We are asking for God to intervene and for divine healing and if God's sovereign is that she go through the treatment, that it be effective and that the side effects are mild and non-life threatening. Gayle is a strong Christian, and her testimony throughout this whole ordeal has been amazing and has already touched a lot of people. Thank you for your prayers before and in advance, now. ____Dave

Update on Gayle. The last Chemo ended up with her in the ER with a fever and today, two weeks later, she had her second one since restarting them. If she can't handle this one any better than the last one it she may decide to quit and see what God has in mind. Tomorrow the reactions start and get in full swing the day after tomorrow. Things look pretty bleak but who knows what God has planned. Thanks for your prayers. Dave

Dave, I will pray that Gayle can handle her treatments, so that she may be able to have fighting chance to beat this.

Dave I will pray the prayer that never fails. “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

“In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:26-27‬ ‭NASB‬‬
“There are things in the old Book which I may not be able to explain, but I fully accept it as the infallible word of God, and receive its teachings as inspired by the Holy Spirit.”
