I need some prayers please.... Long
My dad was diagnosed with a blood disorder called Myelofibrosis, which does not have a cure. Progressively it gets worse and can turn into leukemia.
Well, two weeks ago my dad had to have another bone marrow biopsy done. A week later he had extreme pain in his hip where the bone marrow was taken. He was in so much pain that he couldnt get off the couch. Needless to say, he called the ambulance. After all these blood tests, cat scans and MRIs they finally figured out that it was a hemotoma. He had to have surgery to get it to heal.
In the meantime, we were waiting for the result to the bone marrow test. While my dad was in the hospital his hemoglobins when down so he received numerous blood transfusions. Well, they finally got the results back and he has the beginning of cancer. Im gonna say that its the start of Leukemia, but who knows. My dad doesnt listen to the doctor to well. When he gets out we will have to talk to the doctor to get exactly what needs to be done.
Apparently right now he doesnt need chemo. They will be giving him injections of this medicine that can possibly stop the cancer from coming on full strength.
I am extremely nervous and sad. My FIL died of Leukemia in April and he just went so quick. It was like one week he was fine and then when they started the chemo he died within in a week. Paige only has my parents because my DH's parents are no longer here. It just breaks my heart to think that this little girl might not have a grandpa to play with. I know whats it like to not really have grandparents and I feel like i missed out on something special. Everytime i think about Paige I start to cry. Even my dad did when i mentioned it to him.
Anyway, can you please say some prayers for my dad. I can really use them. I cant imagine life without him. Thanks!!

I know that feeling of helpless that comes with getting news like this. Maybe start a post promoting Bone Marrow donation? (I'm already signed up for a donor)
