I believe the report previous to Fr Ahern’s was correct but it was outdated.  The initial exam showed no cancer but the full analysis including cat scan showed stage 4 (metastatic) pancreatic cancer.  If you have been following the Alex Trebec saga you know there is only a 3% chance of survival beyond 5 years.  Essentially it’s a death sentence and obviously from Fr Ahern’s report that’s how Fr Collins is approaching it.  There is nothing wrong with praying for a full recovery but be prepared to accept God’s Will.

As I stated up-thread, the diagnosis is not official/confirmed yet.  Father will be having the biopsy on Thursday.  Please continue to keep him in your prayers.

I met Father Collins once about 10 years ago. He seemed to be a holy and hard-working priest with a dry sense of humor.
I'll find the holy card he gave me (St. Alphonsus), and say a multitude of prayers
