NEVER apologize for asking for prayers.
You are most certainly in my thoughts. My grandfather was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer when I was a little girl, and had very agressive surgery. During my senior year in HS, he was diagnosed with it again, and this time the doctors weren't willing to do surgery on someone at his age with recurring lung cancer. Luckily, they were able to find a doctor able to do such a surgery, and he's doing well now.
Please let us know how things go.
