Prayer Request

My father could use all of the prayers that he can get right now.  We knew that he was having problems and he was diagnosed with lung cancer.  Yesterday we found out that it is PNET cancer on his lung.  It is very rare and they do not treat it around here.  We are in limbo right now waiting on information on where he will be treated and when.  His name is Ted.

Thank you!


*****Update 10/26/11*****
I just wanted to let everyone know that my dad has all of his treatments and his last scan looked good.  This cancer is not curable but it is treatable, so we are taking it one step at a time.  He is having trouble eating since nothing tastes good now. 

All of your prayers are really appreciated.
