Please pray for my son

[kcd78]

On Friday a bump that i thought was to be a risin appeared on my 11 year old's neck. After school I took him to the doctor's for a walk in visit. Needless to say trying to get in to the doctor on a friday afternoon is well crazy to say the least. So because of the pain he had i took him to the local er. After countless cat scans mris and xrays we are now being told that he has a few swollen lymph nodes and in the center there is a mass. the mass can be a turmor or cancer. i have no words for the horror that i am feeling at this time. i dont know what to say i dont know what to do. we are still at the hospital waiting for the doctors to keep picking at my son while they try to get to the bottom of this and I am scared to DEATH. if you are reading this please just pray for him. pray that they made a mistake and that everything is going to be okay. i need this to be okay. i dont think that i would be able to breathe without him. his name is ronnie and he and my daughter and my younger son are my sun, moon and stars. without them i am nothing. i am not thinking that he will die i cant let that enter my mind. just typing it is bringing tears down my face my keyboard is wet and my heart is heavy please please PLEASE pray for ronnie.

 

 

UPDATE:

 

So the doctors still arent sure what the bump is but as of right now they are saying that it is not cancer. they are going to do explortory surgery in the morning so i will have a new update then. and to all those who are praying for him thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!

First of all, breathe. Secondly, hold on and try not to freak out to much until you know something. I know it's hard, but try.

IF it's bad news, you WILL be able to handle it, I promise. I've been through what you're going through and it is so scary. Just hang on, you and your kids will be alright.

Just noticed your post, and wanted to let you know I said a prayer for Ronnie. God bless him and your whole family, and may everything turn out okay, in Jesus Name.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Try not to jump to the worst conclusions, this is far from a death sentence. A lump can be many, many things. If the lump is a tumor, it is not necessarily cancer. If it is cancer, it is not necessarily a death sentence. Cancer is often times manageable and many people live with it in remission. I have an 18-year-old friend who fought cancer growing up and has been living a normal life with it in remission for years now. Whatever the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan get a second and third opinion and remember that statistics mean nothing.

We spent A LOT of time on the hematology/oncology floor when my son was sick.  The children there were AMAZING! I've seen incredible things happen.  Don't lose hope!

You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope it is not cancer but if it is, please remember cancer is NOT a death sentence. I'm battling bone cancer right now. Just remember to remain positive and be strong! Keep us updated!
