Not plagio related but I ask for your prayers....

[Guest guest]

I am not that religious but I do believe that sometimes a little extra prayer

doesn't hurt.

I have told many of you that my 10 year old had to have a Lymphnode biopsy

done on 9/1 of last year. Thankfully everything turned out fine.

Unfortunately after a recheck today(we found a new lump in Dec), she has

again been referred to the surgeon for what looks like another biopsy. I

thought that once you had a biopsy you are all clear, but unfortunately that

is not the case with reactive Lymphnodes. I am not afraid for the surgery. It

only takes an hour. I hate that she will have another 2 inch scar on her

neck and I hate the blood tests and chest xrays and most of all I hate the

week of waiting for the results (3-5 days usually). The scariest part is of

course talking to a doctor about " cancer " . It makes me cry just to type it.

I am sure that it will turn out to be nothing, last time it was nothing.

Unfortunately once they become larger than 3 cm in diameter they must be

biopsied. I am defiantely thinking positive and I am not crying my eyes out

(what a surprise).

But I feel so bad for my daughter. She was so scared last time and when she

hears the doctor say " cancer " , you should see her face! She knows what it

is. I hate discussing it with the doctor...I HATE IT! It feels so weird to

hear him say it to me...i know that's not what it will be. I just know it.

Unfortunately there is always a little part of me that says, what if?

Please keep us in your prayers - our appt. is 4/9 unfortunately the doctor is

away next week.

I am turning to you all because you are always there for me. Thank you for

all the support!!!!!
