Rik Stirling's Medical Help
Donation protected
Rik Stirling was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer on 1/9/19. We talked with the Oncologist today, 1/15/19. It has spread to his liver and lungs. He is unable to continue working as his cancer is so far advanced. He has lost over 30 lb, is very jaundiced, low hemoglobin, very weak, and can not eat, except for a liquid diet. There is just no room as the liver has become so large, very quickly. We learned today that he has only 1 chemical drug to try as his liver is failing (bloodwork is poor) and the doctor said he wouldn't be able to tolerate anything else. This chemotherapy drug isn't a cure, as we were told, as they don't even know if the cancer will react to it and start to shrink, or be resistant.
Please join us in prayer for a miracle healing, and the 2nd prayer request Rik has is that the cancer will react to the drug when it is started this Friday and start to shrink. If healing is not meant to be on this earth, Rik loves the Lord and continues to trust in Him for eternity that awaits.
This news came so quickly, with very little time to even adjust (if that is possible). His liver is full of numerous tumors, his lungs have 3 in each lung, and the colon has a large one as well. The doctors are hoping that they can cause the cancer to shrink so that the liver can begin to function better. If so, then other options might become available. We are hoping for continued prayer support and any financial support is deeply appreciated, with all the upcoming expenses.
Thank you everyone for your love!
