Prayer Request for My Son [Update @ 241]
my heart | 072909 | babyfreep

Posted on 07/29/2009 5:05:06 PM PDT by babyfreep

Dear FReeper FRiends,

My son has recently found that out that he has lymphoma. He underwent surgery today and they completely removed one of his lymph nodes. It will be sent off for more tests to find out exactly what kind of cancer it is and how to treat it. It was first thought he had thyroid cancer, however, that's not being considered anymore.

I am in Texas and he is in San Diego at the Balboa Naval Medical Center. He was stationed on the USS George Washington and they were underway when he discovered the lump in his thyroid. They hit port in Australia and he was flown back to Japan they did few more tests and then he flew to San Diego where he is now. His wife is from there and he has in-laws and other relatives in SD. He is a very strong, courageous and capable young man.

We've also recently found out that he and his wife have their first baby on the way.

I've never been one to post on the prayer threads, but I do read them and I do pray for the individuals and their families. I believe whole-heartedly in the power of prayer.

Please pray for my son's speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear about your son. Given his age, Hodgkins Lymphoma is probably the culprit. That having been said, Hodgkins is highly treatable with very good long term cure rate.

We've also recently found out that he and his wife have their first baby on the way.

Depending on the recommended therapy, he and his wife may want to have sperm frozen now should they want to have additional children down the road.

Yep...they’ve already told him that, too. He’s taking care of that sometime this week, I think.
