I am worried


I am worried about Garth Childs. He called me yesterday and he has a great problem that may be the end of his mortal life. They did not get all of the cancer when they did the prostate surgery. They will do a bone scan at the end of the month and if the cancer is spread there they will probably not be able to do anything. Otherwise, on Feb. 5, they will begin the hormone treatment that they have used with Grandpa Pitts. This will be more aggressive because the cancer that Garth has is more aggressive.

The family is no stranger to cancer. Alyce, Garth’s wife, and her two sisters and mother, have all had breast cancer. Richard Childs died of cancer. Grandpa Ray Smith died of cancer as did some of his siblings. Great Grandpa Pritchett died of cancer. His son, my grandmother’s brother, also died of cancer.

Don’t tell me that the Pitt’s don’t have cancer. My Aunt Bea died of it. My cousin, Kenny, had his leg amputated.

I hope you will all pray for Garth. I love him so much.

I love you all! M
