I swore I would never come back to Lit the other day, but I have nowhere to turn right now. My entire family is 1300 miles away. I know you people on the general board can be jerks at times just as much as myself, but there aren't many of you that don't come attached with a heart. If any of you believe in forgiveness, God and the power of prayer, I ask that you pray for my daughter, Sam.
She developed a small lump that grew to half the size of my fist, and has moved from her upper chest area to her collarbone. You can see it through her shirt. She was seen at the emergency room in late Sept., and was sent home with Davocet and other anti-inflammatory's thinking she's just an active child, and has some inflammation. (sounds weird) They did a chest ex-ray, but nothing came up. I was told to see the family doctor in 2 weeks if there wasn't any change. There hasn't, and things have only gotten worse.
We saw the family doctor, and she ordered a CT Scan immediately for the next day, which was yesterday. She appeared very concerned. The results came back this evening. I guess the doctor had rushed it through without telling me, so I wouldn't worry. I just received the most frightening phone call of my life. "It's a mass, a tumor, and it looks very abnormal and worrisome." It won't stop echoing through my brain! My daughter's 14 1/2 yrs. old! She lost her father to lymph node cancer when she was little, and watched him die.
The doctor is rushing her in tomorrow for a biopsy at 9am because she's afraid it might be bone cancer. There are other symptoms as well, but I think I typed out enough to hopefully reach someone, anyONE who will pray for her. Please, please, pray for my little girl! I believe in the power of prayer.
