Asking for kind thoughts from fellow DUers

[mvd]

My dad is still fighting cancer. It continues to be very hard on him. My dog Gordon had a high white cell count and enlarged lymph nodes during the last vet visit. Hopefully infection since he is mostly acting himself. Just acting a little older as he's 10. And I am in a bad financial situation. Just so many things going on. If you have thoughts and prayers (if you do prayers), they would be appreciated.

2. So sorry to hear bout your situation and that of your dad and dog...

Not a big believer in prayer, but I do hope, if there is a God, your prayers will be answered and all of you will soon be on the mend.

Prayers going out to my favorite patron St. Jude for you, your Dad, your puppy, and for a financial blessing.

I can just "feel" your stress and hardships. God Bless

To St. Jude and said no prayer was left unanswered.

32. "My mother always prayed to St. Jude, and no prayer was left unanswered."

samplegirl,

That's precisely why St. Jude's been my go to Saint since I was a very little girl in Catholic School, because NONE of my prayers were ever left unanswered.

8. My thoughts and prayers for your dad and doggie...

I am a cancer survivor so do not give up hope...I thought I was going to die but here I am 10 years later. I have a precious little girl......her name is Fajita...she is a 4# Chihuahua who has been through thick and thin with one ailment or another and she is cuddled up next to me now sound asleep..so do not lose hope for your precious Gordon......dogs are amazing about what they can overcome. Bless you, your dad, and your beautiful Gordon.

Don't give up, keep the faith. As a wise person told me many times in my low points in life, "This too shall pass."

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Hang in there, mvd

I've been where you are, my Dad had cancer, too, and I know that helpless feeling. And my puppy just turned 12, hard for me to believe, and he's fine, but I worry. Sending you all I've got...

[mvd]

20. Thanks

[MFM008]

14. Of course

Thoughts and prayers but REAL ones!

[AtomicKitten]

15. Do you have a gofundme, PayPal, or ? account

... so we can ease your financial situation?

I got help a few years back for which I was very grateful and would like to help.

[mvd]

19. I have thought about it

I am just trying other things first. My parents are also not well off. I have some rich relatives (a couple have briefly been in the news in a way I don't like) but they aren't very generous. One I am closer to and has helped before, but afraid to ask. I might set up one as a last resort.

[AtomicKitten]

24. I'll check back.

Best regards.

[mvd]

28. I appreciate the idea

Will keep you updated if I start one.

[irisblue]

For you and yours.

38. There's some good news

Gordon has acted the best he has been in a while. Barking for his jerky treats when he heard me this morning. The vet wanted to have a biopsy, but we decided to wait a couple weeks and see how things look then. Glad he's been acting like this.
