Here is an excerpt from
My step-dad Jasper, was diagnosed with bladder cancer a few
months ago, and they thought they had caught it in time for chemo to take care
of it. As of last Wednesday, they have
learned that the cancer is growing, in spite of the chemo.

of it. As of last Wednesday, they have
learned that the cancer is growing, in spite of the chemo.
Here is an update from today:
Jasper’s hospice nurse evaluated his condition yesterday and
told my mom it appears Jasper might have less than 2 weeks left, at this
point. He has deteriorated rapidly,

family and this time of heavy trial. Here’s a link to their prayer request page.
Update: As some of you know, my step-dad Jasper is
dying. He was diagnosed with bladder cancer some time ago, went through
the usual course of treatments and eventually they quit working. In
December he was given a prognosis of 6 months or less. Last week, he
was given 2 weeks or less, and as of yesterday, the hospice nurse
changed that again, to a few days, at best.
My mom is taking comfort in the Scriptures, and is asking folks to pray – and I am doing the same.
Please remember Jasper and Estella and as the Lord leads your prayers
today, and in the days to come. We’re hanging around the house waiting
for that phone call. This is a very difficult time for alot of us.
UPDATE: Jaspers has passed away on Feb 11, 2005. Offer a prayer request or words of comfort here.
