cblevins Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I want to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and comments on Elmer's website. A special thanks to Heidi who helps me through the long nights when I need her. You are truly like family. We found out that Elmer is in the 4th and final stage of Adrenocortical carcinoma. It is extremely rare and violently agressive. It is too late for surgery to help him. He may try some chemo and radiation for pain control. There is one very nasty tumor that has penetrated the Vena Cava. Unless it shrinks , he won't have much longer. I wish I could say that I'm fine but I am not. I ask that you change your prayers. Please ask for comfort for Elmer and ask that I have the strength to accept what God chooses for us. I still can't pray but I know "my back is covered". Heidi will update you when needed......(won't you Heidi?) Thank you and God bless you all. I feel like their is a large rock behind me holding me up and it consists of my family and friends.
