Hello FAOL family. I’ve put this off for a few days because I thought everything was going to work out. (My denial). I talked to my daughter this past weekend. She is in a hospital in Austin, Texas. She went to ER for what she thought was pancreatitis. That is something she was treated for in February in Lubbock, Texas. They ran some tests and discovered a mass on her pancreas. Further tests show the tumor has matastisized to the liver. More tests show 20 lesions on the liver and the tumor totally envelopes the pancreas. Then came the biopsy. It is malignant. The DR is saying maybe 6 months. She will be leaving the hospital with hospice as surgery is out of the question. I am flying out today with my youngest daughter to go help. My daughter’s name is Rene Miner, she is 46 years old and very scared. Please pray for her and our family. If you have a church prayer chain I would appreciate you putting her on it. Thank you. Jim
Jim,
That news really hurts me to read. Your request will be handled on this end. I am in such a shock to read your post that I do not know what else to say except that it hurts. Just remember that He is in control and it is His Will that we must honor. We may not understand His Will at this time, but, we will one day.
I am so sorry…Please keep the Faith…
Jim, I am so sorry to hear that, My thoughts and prayers are with her and with you.
Mike
Same here Jim.

Jim,
I hate to read stories of such, I am so sorry this had to be posted.
I will definitely keep your daughter and family in my daily prayers and consider it done by adding your daughter to our church prayer list.
Jim,
As both a 16-year survivor of three brain tumors and the father of a daughter lost to this insidious disease known as cancer, I know your pain all too well. Rest assured, with the coming of nightfall, the “prayer pool” that has sustained me and mine will be hitting their knees in prayer for you, your family and your daughter.
May the Good Lord watch over you all…

My thoughts are with your daughter and you all. Take care Jim.

About the time I read this I was thinking I had a tough row to hoe… I am not much the praying kind, but my best wishes and thoughts are headed for you, Rene, and your family.

As a survivor, know our thoughts are with your family.
Jim,
I so sorry for this news. I am including Rene in my prayers and for you and the rest of your family.
First let me say that I allready have your family in my prayers and will continue to do so. Having lost my oldest daughter to a very rare type of cancer last Dec. I know what you and yours are going through, but we all deal with this differently. So dont let anyone tell you that you should do or feel this that or anything. Stay positive he still does miracles even if its not the one we want.
JIm, The prayer groups of St Charles Episcopal church are activated on behalf of you, your daughter and your families ! All our love and comfort are sent to you. Lay back in the arms of the LORD !
First, Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. I have been in Austin since 1AM and by my daughter’s side for most of the time. She did consent to having a “port” surgically implanted today and the oncologist is working up a plan for chemotherapy. In the beginning she was adamantly opposed to this treatment. Thanks to the DRs, nurses and other support staff at Brackenridge Seton Medical Center she came around. She’s a spunky girl and loves life too much to just quit. I’ll be here for the next week. Jim
You and yours have my prayers.
That’s hard news, Jim. Rene and her family are definitely in my prayers. Keep the faith and make the best of every day!
