Cancer

Heavenly Father, I am reminded of those times when you save people when they attempt to end their lives unsuccessfully.

To the glory of your name, kindly heal this person in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

So be it.

I nust found out myeloma, level four. That's pretty much the end of the line.

I'm so sorry. My mother-in-law died of emphysema.

Father, I ask your help in this situation. In Jesus' name. Amen.

My mom passed on with lung cancer but at least she was a believer. I hope and pray your mom is.

Prayers for you and your nana

Yourself? My aunt had a rare stage four cancer and she went through some experimental treatments and chemotherapy and she's completely fine and still going strong now two years later! I don't think the treatments even caused her to lose much hair...

So don't give up hope. Explore all the possibilities out there you can find. I pray you find healing and God gives you many more years.

I'm sorry about your Nana's smoking and cancer.
Two of my grandparents and my mother died young because of their smoking addictions.
My grandmother was rushed to the ER when I was about 10, because she couldn't catch a breath. When my father and I went to visit her, she turned to me and begged me to never smoke. She described how bad her addiction was: that even though she couldn't breathe, she was sucking down a cigarette as fast as she could, knowing that she wouldn't be able to smoke in the hospital. She was diagnosed with emphysema and suffered with it for ten years before she finally died.
My grandfather, her husband, was in total denial. His response to my sister asking him to stop smoking was the classic "I can quit anytime". It wasn't true, of course. He had a heart attack at 55 and was gone suddenly.
My mother got cancer at 62 because of her smoking addiction. In the hospital, they gave her a nicotine patch. Within a week, she was clean. She said that if she'd known it was going to be that easy to quit, she would have done it many years earlier. Unfortunately, it was too late for Mom. Her cancer was stage 4. She died that year.
I say all of this to help you understand that your grandmother's smoking habit is a very real addiction. Many people say that it's easier to stop using heroine than it is to quit smoking.
It sounds like your Nana doesn't want to face the problem; but her cancer is only at stage 1. If she quits now, she may live.
If I were you, I would do this: 1. Pray for your grandmother and love her. You may not have her much longer. 2. Understand that her smoking is a true addiction. She has to WANT to quit badly enough to kick a VERY strong demon that has a hold on her life. 3. Encourage her. Offer to help her quit. Suggest that she try the patch, maybe. 4. If she will not try to quit smoking, enjoy the time you have with her, talk with her about Jesus, do your best to be honest but loving.
I will be happy to pray for her and you right now too. <3
