Need Prayers - Update

I just found out that my grandfather has cancer. He had prostate cancer when he was 60 and beat it. He's now 83 and the cancer is in his stomach and esphogus. I'm getting married in 44 days and right now, I'm at a loss. He's my only grandparent.



UPDATE:
Last Friday, my grandfather received 2 pints of blood which brought his blood count to 11 from an 8. After his transfusion, he went to see his oncologist. The doctor doesn't think that the cancer had spread to any of is other vital organs, but wanted to do a CAT Scan to make sure. His option was radiation, but if he did it now, he would have the strength to go to my wedding, so he put off the radiation treatment until after the wedding. As of now, they will keep giving him transfusions as needed because the tumor that is in his stomach is bleeding which is making his blood count drop. He's not in any pain. FH and I went to see him on Saturday. He looked good and it was so great seeing him.

Thanks girls for all of your thoughts and prayers.
