I’m asking for your prayers!
For those of you who didn’t know:
My Moma’s cancer has come back in her lymph nodes again. It appears to be in a hard spot to remove surgically. The enlarged nodes are in her right neck. The lymph node chain in that region is dangerously close to some major blood vessels like the carotid artery and the jugler veins. Well, her general surgeon who removed it from the same region the last time says he cant touch it this time.
I’m taking her to UAB today for a second surgical opinion. Her Oncologist says, either way, she will have to have more radiation and continue chemotherapy. Well, the radiation was horrible when she had it before! Even worse than Chemo or Surgery. It literally burned her skin off her body where they radiated her. She went through tremendous pain and suffering. We hope that if we can at least get the bulk of it out we can reduce the amount of radiation she will have to receive.
Please join me in prayer today and everyday!
Sonja
