writes:Hi.I have been married for over a year and a half now. July 16th will be our two-year anniversary. My husband has stomach and colon cancer. His hair is starting to fall out. He recently lost his job, and will be trying to look for another one so that he can pay for his cancer medications. I am not looking for handouts or money. I was just wondering if you have any advice for me? If you believe in God, could you pray for him? His name is James. Have you ever been through this before or do know of any information that could help us out? I've started doing some of my own research to try to see what is going on. Thank you.

thatgothgirl20 is verified as being by the original poster of the question He isn't giving me a lot of information. He hasn't given me a lot of information. He is around 27 years old. He has asthma as well. He was going to have surgery, but after looking at it they said that they couldn't operate on him. I am probably going to see him this weekend.

Hi - very sad situation, but stomach AND colon cancer? Do you know what sort of cancer you are dealing with? How old is your husband - if he is your age that is rare indeed tho there are a few abdominal cancers that occur in the young. Not all cancers can be compared and some can be very readily cured (to a percent to be absolutely candid and blunt ) and some are not so good. SO - What IS the diagnosis - there must have been atissue diagnosis given, or you may need to ask. SOON. Get back asap please.

Hi,
Of course I'll pray for you, and you may talk to us anytime.
Our healthcare system is really appalling. Our healthcare system is really upsetting, and I agree, things need to change.
Of course, there's hope, though. I know more than one person who has survived cancer and remained cancer free.
I'm not sure if they could help but it couldn't hurt to look into the United Way, regarding the financial end of things. They've been known to be a resource for people in difficult times.
It's a good idea to always get a second opinion about surgery and treatments.
Good luck... lots of people are praying for you... keep us posted.

 I will pray for him, and pray for you too. Hearing a loved one has cancer is tough, but those who are patient are rewarded with Heaven (according to my religious beliefs). I will continue to pray for both of you.
I know two people who had colon cancer: one is my grandfather, and the other is a close family friend. They both had operations done, had chemotherapy, continue to get tested, and are living somewhat normally. Because the colon is shorter, it causes them to use the bathroom frequently. I don't know much other than that.
All I can say other than that is have hope and stay strong. I pray all the best for both of you.

 Was very upset to read your question , but there are many positives . It sounds like he is young ? as you are only 22-25 ? , this means he has a good chance of beating it .
He is obviously undergoing Kemo ? thats why his hair is starting to fall out ..I will pray for you .
The example of the lost job , Is an absolute example of the terrible state of the US health system , thats exactly why it needs to be and WILL change .
Over servicing Ripe when your employer pays your " benies " ..No support for needed drugs when you are trully sick . I wish you well .
Good Luck ..thinking of you .

 My empathy to you for what you are going through.
May God gives you the strength and the grace to bear with this heavy burden and may God's healing powers be upon James.
He is in our thoughts and prayers .
I pray and hope James will get well and be cured.
