I meant to say, I’ve written your son and the rest of your family in my prayer diary… Not I’ve written you in my prayers. Sorry for the typo!

Carolyn,
Thank you so much for sharing, I have written your son along with the rest of your family in my prayers. Cancer has effected our family and we pray for a day when there is a cure.
Every parent should read your story or one of the far too many like it with the amount of people diagnosed every single day and remember to cherish every moment with those they love.
Blessings, Marsa

Thank you for posting your personal story, I can’t imagine going through what you are and still trying keep yourself and family together going through this. We all know here that family comes first and that they are top priority above all. I am so glad they caught it early in your son. I hope you stay strong and also have others to talk to or cry to, know that it isn’t a weakness but a strength. Love is so powerful it can heal what others thought seemingly impossible, don’t give up hope. You need to take care of yourself too so that you can take care of others. Know that we all will be thinking of you and your family and that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I don’t know what to say – except that you are so in my daily thoughts and I wish I could do more to help your family. Please know that I am carrying you with us within our thoughts and prayers. So cry. Be angry. Be scared. Do what you need to do here so that you can continue to be strong there, OK?
I will be wearing Violet. !
Hugs, Karen (Gumma)

Carolyn, I understand the position you are in and how terrifying it can be to not know exactly what is happening with your child. My oldest son faced a mysterious illness at the age of four which eight doctors told me he would not survive. He will turn 37 in January. His journey to health was long and frightening but we never ever thought he would not beat his illness. First and foremost, you must always know and believe that the good Lords love will see you, your son and family through this. It is important that you remain upbeat and positive as your son will take his cues from you. I know that is hard, but as one mother to another I know you can do it for him. Remember that doctors are just people and science is not perfect, but Gods love is. Expect the best and you will have it. Sometimes medical professionals do not use the best words when advising us of medical findings. Instead of saying there was an area that was suspicious, they could have said there was an area that may be scar tissue and they need to check it to make sure. The fact is it may just be that. I will pray for you and yours and just remind you that your sons problem was found early, he is strong and this will all turn out well. Love, trust and prayers will see you through.

Warm regards,
Diane
