I never ask but prayers are always helpful.....UPDATE
My dad went to the doctor for a backache, it came back that he has something called stenosis which is treatable and due mostly to aging.
But he also has a spot on a bone in his back, and the doctor is sending him for a bone scan tomorrow. He said it was 99% noncancerous because it didn't show anything in his blood test, but the MRI couldn't say what it was.
I'm pretty shaken right now, so please give it up to God to look out for my dad.
Thanks
UPDATE My mom just called and said that the spot is only arthritis!!!!! Never been so glad to hear about my dad's creaking bones.
