"I just found out that my Dad has a tumor on the inner lining of his brain. It's two centimeters which is considered a 'giant tumor'. The doctors said that it's very rare for a tumor in this position to get over 1 centimeter and Dad's is already double that. The doc said that if it gets any bigger it will block the flow of spinal fluid to the brain which could result in paralysis and/or loss of brain function.
My Dad's only 47. The docs think that the large size and sudden appearance of this tumor may be related to his implanted defibrillator malfunctioning awhile back and shocking him over 30 times... 360 joules of electricity in each shock applied directly to the heart and exiting through the head. They can't find another case where anyone lived through that to compare Dad with, and ever since that happened things like this started popping up."
Pray for this family; they need our prayers.

May the Lord give you and your family peace during this trying time.
I know what stress and hardships you are dealing with now. Recently my family and I lost our dearly loved granddad to cancer and a severe overdose of chemotherapy. It affected each one of us, but every moment the Lord was with us, comforting and loving us.
I will keep you in my daily prayers.
With love through Jesus,

Thanks so much to everyone praying for my Dad and to Jenna for posting this request. The more prayer going up to the Father for him the better!
He was told by the neurosurgeon yesterday that surgery, etc. wouldn't be "worth the effort" since his life expectancy with his heart condition is only 3-10 years. He informed the surgeon that he plans on living at least 30 more years, with out without him (the dr.). :) Please keep holding Dad up to Him.
Thanks,
