Yesterday at the community Mass, Fr. Vincent offered a petition for Fr. Robert’s health as he enters a new phase of treatment. Fr. Robert has been suffering from double vision and balance problems. The latest C-scan shows that there are cancer cells in his brain and his oncologist recommended radiation as possible treatment. Fr. Robert has opted for ten radiation treatments over the next two weeks.
Please keep Fr. Robert and all his needs in your prayers.
Special thanks to our good and devoted friends outside the community who are helping us with driving Fr. Robert to his appointments
Tim says
He is in my prayers as are all of the Monks.
Ronald Dombroski says
God bless Fr. Robert especially during this time of crisis.
Prayers for all the monks.
Shaun Murphy says
Please convey to Father Robert our great love and concern.
Of course our prayers are nonstop for his good health to be restored.
It would be good to know if his oncologist has also considered
“compassionate use” of the immunotherapy drug Keytruda, as former
President Jimmy Carter used for brain cancer, post-radiation
treatments, with complete cure resulting.
We miss you, Robert!
Much love and tender hugs,
Shaun, William, and Clare xxxooo
