Hulamom, prayers needed

Just heard from Hula's Husband Ben:

Tracy finished the last chemo and after a CT scan Wednesday, we saw her oncologist today. The tumor grew down into the liver and is now about 10cm in length. There is no further treatment available to her, as the tumor is resistant to chemo at its current stage and due to her condition and its location, surgery is not an option. The doctors staff contacted St. Francis Hospice, asking them to contact us for a meeting. When asked "how much longer," the statement was 3-4 months. We are tasked with making sure we eat and stay comfy. Tracy is still able to get around, but not too quickly. I am sure Tracy will do a Facebook update shortly

Thank you for your support - it means a lot to Tracy.

Take care!

Ben

Hulamom has been a special friend to me here on the island and I'm asking for special prayers for her and her family.

Thanks for passing that on Dano. I'm heartbroken and crushed for them.

God love her. Prayers and gentle hugs for them.

I am so sorry to hear this devastating news.

I will lift Hulamom up in prayer, and pray for Ben and family that God will wrap His loving arms around them and comfort them all in their time of need!

I know that God will never leave them, nor forsake them!

Much love,

tp

This is just too much to deal with sometimes. My heart just aches for Ben and Tracy. I don't even come here as regular as many and I have gotten attached to some. Tracy is one. Such a good attitude. I will be praying for both Ben & Tracy.

Dano, I will have you in my prayers also as you have to see another friend deal with this horrid disease. God Bless all the people on this forum.

I am not so good with words and so I want to say that I agree completely with what Cathy/zinger posted. That was expressed so well. Tracy you are a special person.
