My wife Barb ( star on this forum) has just come out of hospital, she had an impacted bowel with complications, and at this time she is really very sick and needs prayers of Gods people,
My wife has posted many words of encourgment, support advice and help to many people on this site, so I am asking with all my heart for your help in lifting Barb up to God and asking him to get her through this ordeal, since she has come out of hospital she has become very weak and is very ill.. Thank You for your help ....
I am from England and I met Barb 8 yrs ago when she found out she got colon cancer .. I kept coming over to USA to help Barb fight this evil disease, staying 3 months at a time,, then going back to Uk for 3 months then coming back again. I have done this for 8yrs..
Until one day 2yrs ago when she was in hospital I asked her to marry me, she said yes and I sold my business in England and left family and friends and comfort zone to take care of Barb.and last september we got married,, 4 days later she hemmorged and we spent honny moon in ISU.. the drs said she would make it , but she proved them wrong, infact last year she hemmorged twice last year and each time drs said she would not make it, but with prayers of Gods people she did. she is an incredible fighter,,
At this moment she has not only stage 1V cancer mets to liver and lungs,,, but an abcess at her rectum (inside) chronic nuropathy,,, and blood clots in both legs, which stops her walking .. but she never never complains. or ever said "Why me"... sp that is part of our story...
So please pray for her as she really really needs it now..
Thank You So Much...
We pray each day for this forum that God will give healing, peace, and hope to all who visit this site...
God Bless All Who Views This /// |

Dear Friends,
Thank You All for you prayers and kind words, they mean so much to us.
Barb has had a couple of good days, tomorrow. her family are taking us to see Eagles in a wild life sanctuary, we have spent 7yrs trying to find eagles, as they can teach us so much, So tomorrow our dream will come true.
With all complications Barb has suffered so much and DR said her chances now are 10% and only God can do a miracle, so that is what we are praying for.
I know you have your own battles and we have always stood with you in heartfelt prayer to all those on this site, and we have walked beside you and cheered you on as we read your posts, please continue to stand with Barb and myself at this very tough time, at moment its 24 hrs round the clock keeping Barb going,,, I need her here as its only being 11 months since we got married, Please God few more years .....
God Bless every one who reads this and may Gods Peace, and Healing touch each life .......
Best Wishes Rob and Barb |

Dear Rob and Barb,
This morning I said a rosary in church for REB (hey REB - see you are hanging in there....) and lit a candle for him.
sorry I didn't see this until just now - I am hoping and praying for you both, I will say a rosary for Barb today before I go to bed, and am saying prayers right now......
I saw an Eagle for you both yesterday....it was at the Chespeake Bay when I was out on my kayak...Fantastic!
I promise to pray faithfully daily for her - you are right - she has put so many encouraging messages on here for us. Please keep us all updated
Cheers
DulcimerGal

Dear Rob and Barb,
I pray for you and wish you all the best.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with many people on this forum. I know that I became more optimistic regarding my father's cancer by reading this forum. |
