One week before my sister came here the first week in september she had a medical and was declared fine.
The day she arrived home she was rushed to hospital and had half a pint of fluid drained from her left lung.
5 days later she was diagnosed with inoperabe lung cancer and told 2 to 3 month if untreated.
She has the prayers of christians methodists and catholics i am going to the temple at 430 to recruit the bhuddists and am asking for any jews muslims mormans jehovas witness or any body else to offer up a little prayer for a wonderful caring (ready to fight) lady as she starts her fight and her first chemotherapy
The army of the willing fighting a good cause with a silent prayer

Sarge, your sister is a very nice lady indeed and I hope and pray that she manages to beat this terrible illness.

I'm very sorry to hear about that Sarge; I'm of no known religious persuasion, but I'll put in a good word anyway and miracles do still happen in the world despite of religion.
Good luck to her.

First of all to Sarge. I know your life has not been to easy recently, so this was just what you needed. Your sister has been in my head since I read your OP, I am not a religious man, but I really hope everything goes well with your sister. An atheists prayer !!

Secondly to the MODS.
As Sarge is an old warrior on this forum and right now needs our support, I think this thread should be moved (again) to Life in Thailand, so it ends up on the hot topics list, instead of being hidden under health issues, where most members do not find it. IMO of much more relevance to most of us, than i.e. someone missing a few chairs for his wedding.

my heart, good thoughts and well wishes go out to your sister mate.

Tell her to fight and not give in. Giving in is when the C gets you.

I empathise totally with you Sarge, as I'm going through a similar thing with my 'big sis' at the moment.

I don't normally pray, but it's times like these when you call on 'whoever' to help out. Your sis will be included in my prayers tonight.

Sarge, I can only echo what everyone is saying - all best wishes to your sister and family.

Hi Sarge, very sad to hear your news. Obviously I don't know Missy, but I've never heard you say a bad word about her.

Missy is in the thoughts of Mrs BB, John and me tonight. It's such a terrible illness - we can only hope that she is a fighter, and proves all of the doctors wrong.

Keep your pecker up mate, and hope for the best.
