Prayer Request for a Dear Friend and also a Member of my Extended Family

I got a call from a very good friend from High School Kim asking for prayers for her husband Peter. 3 years ago Peter fought and beat colon cancer but it is now back and has moved on to his liver, lungs and kidneys. They were told that without treatment he had 3 months to live and with treatment maybe up to a year. The last time he had theis battle he was very ill from the chemo and radiation and they had to pray on what course of action they wanted to take, did they want 3 months of him feeling 'ok' or a year of him dealing with the side effects of chemo and radiation. They decided to fight it as aggressively as they could with the hopes that the Dr's were wrong and that he could beat the odds and be around for many more years. Please pray that Peter is able to enjoy whatever time he is blessed with, with his children and the rest of his family.
Another prayer request for my Hubby's Aunt S. She has been fighting Breast cancer since Christmas and was thought to have been beating it, last thursday they found another mass in her lung when doing a routine x-ray to check the progress of the chemo. This family has had many difficult trials the past year with their youngest getting third degree burns on his legs from a burning gas can and their oldest getting diagnosed with a form of vasculitis. Please pray for all 3 of them as well as my Hubby's Uncle B as he helps his family through these trying times.You can view the caringbridge site for updates on all of them.
