Prayers Needed

[asianthree]

My best friends son has just been diagnosesed with Malignant Melanoma. Already traveled to lung, liver, nodes. Bryan is 26, and a 2nd ER Resident. Just newly married this summer. Being in the medical field I know there is less than a year left. It breaks my heart to see such a promising young man have to fight for his life. I have been up all night thinking is ways to wrap my head around this. We All have had many years to enjoy this life, and sometimes life is just not fair. His dad is an is a crna, and his mom is a hospice nurse.

Please include Bryan, in your prayers, and to give strength to his parents Rich and Cindy. Many thanks

How very sad this is. I hate cancer with a passion, but even more so when it involves young people who haven't lived their lives yet. Saying prayers for Bryan and his family for strength. One of my best friends is in the last stages of the same disease, he's been in this stage since the summer and they are keeping him comfortable right now. Its all very painful to hear.

[SALYBOW]

Prayers to ALL involved

[goodtimesintv]

Praying for Bryan and family to seek Almighty God above everything in the universe, and to receive His infinite peace in their souls which live on eternally.

He perfectly times the tides and the solar system. He can heal human bodies, minds and souls.

He can do this. Believe it, and ask.

[KeepingItReal]

Prayers that it is God's will for him to have a quick recovery and prayers for all his family.

[Phanatic Luvr]

I will keep ALL of you in my prayers.

[ScorpioSquared]

Prayers for all of you! So very heartbreaking.

[onslowe]

My prayers have just been said and will be said for Bryan and his family for the needed but not always readily seen comfort of His grace. My God, I hate cancer!

[Blessed2BNTV]

Prayed for complete healing and strength for family.

[joansullivan]

Prayers up for Bryan, his family and friends.

[dbussone]

We will all continue to pray that God will watch over, guide and direct the team caring for this young man. Prayers also for his family and friends at this time of difficulty.

[Doro22]

Praying for him & many others who are & have been suffering. ����

[Floridagal]

I am so sorry to hear about your friend's son. I will certainly say a prayer for him and his family. So sad to hear this at this time of the year when we should all be celebrating.

[CFrance]

Prayers for Brian and family, and you too. Too young to have this happen.

[asianthree]

Just wanted to thank everyone for this amazing place and adding Bryan to your prayers. Bryan can now walk without oxygen, tumors have shrunk 75% in his Lungs, liver is now only 4 times the size it should be and starting to function again. Next pet scan will tell us how brain tumors are doing. Off pain meds. Bryan has been on the same treatment as Jimmy Carter that has the same cancer, stage 4 malignant melanoma.

April 1 ( not an April fools joke) Bryan will be returning to his Emergency Department Residency. He is by far not out of the woods but with everyone's thoughts and prayers he may one day be able to become a great doctor.

Great news. The power of prayer and modern medicine. Is the drug on the market or is it a Study Drug?

The drug is on the market and is called Keytruda. I am an oncology nurse and just had two drug reps come and give an inservice on this drug on Thursday! So glad it has been useful in this young person's case. :BigApplause:

[graciegirl]

This is a wonderful way to start the day. I am happy for Bryan, Asianthree and for all of us, that this new drug is available.

I just arrived in TV on Saturday morning for my 3 week down time, when first text came. Bryan had total confusion pet scan showed all tumors shrunk by 75 percent, but the two tumors in his brain now look like a Dalmatian. Text at 2:59am Monday was he was in convulsing. Intubation at 3:06am.
His father and I have been texting for 24 hours straight about when to remove from vent. As I sit reading all of trivial things that goes on in our lives that we all have lived such a full life, I wonder why this amazing 26 year old ER Doctor got the short end of the stick. Sometimes you question your faith.



As I sit on our lanai doing some paperwork that has taken me 10 times longer, than normal, I have questions on why Bryan. Just waiting for the next text. Sadly his heart is strong and this will take awhile. So prayers for family still appreciated.

[Sable99]

Saying prayers for Brian and his family.

[lanabanana73]

My heart goes out to you, and to this boy's family. So much of life is NOT fair and you are right, events like these make us rethink our own lives and our place in the universe. May I take each step this day and every day with the intent to make the world a better place and be mindful of each minute I am given here. Hugs to you all. :-(

[Cobh521]

So sorry for Brian. Prayers going up.

[graciegirl]

I am so sad to hear this. I wish I had words to comfort you. I pray that the people working on this horrible disease soon have a major breakthrough. I am sending hugs and caring to all of you. I wish I could help in some way.

[HimandMe]

My late husband had this. I pray for everyone connected with this young man.

So sorry to hear about this tragic turn of events when the news previously seemed to be somewhat promising. You are so right, asianthree, about how tragedies such as this really put life into perspective.

God bless you for being such a good friend and support system to to this family. Prayers being said for all involved, especially Bryan.

[Phanatic Luvr]

:pray: Prayers still being sent. Never give up on hope and faith. :pray:

What a perfect and beautiful friend you are. Questioning our faith is perfectly normal also, If the boss's son could question why can't we. The important thing is while you are down we will pick you up and cover for you with our prayers. The entire family & Bryan are lucky to have a friend like you. We are so sorry for what is going on stay strong :pray:

I couldn't say it better and will certainly continue the prayers.

Amen to all the prayers and thoughts noted above. God Bless!

[goodtimesintv]

So, so sorry to hear this. It is so hard to understand.

It's a stark reminder we need to turn to Almighty God who made us. The Scriptures are full of the tests of faith God gave them and us, to get our attention to turn to Him and not just to intelligent, gifted mortals who can do incredible therapies thru science and skill and practice......but who still cannot do all things, as God Almighty can.

Bless you all. Praying for his and the family's peace.

[chachacha]

this thread breaks my heart...had not seen it until now....will pray that Bryan lives the time he has left with hope and joy and faith, so that no matter what happens he will feel peace. so so sad for a young person with so much potential to suffer so and for his parents...may God bless them all greatly. The book of Wisdom offers great comfort for the death of a young person. will still not give up on the possibility of a miracle, however....prayers offered...
