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.

I pray that your son be healed of this cancer and that it not invade all of his lymph system.

Yep. And you've done well by asking...
I'll just beam what's been made obvious.
And add my positive input to the overall broadcast for your uptake.
I sense the Grizzard preacher-in-the-flood revelation that God is sending the boats, the patrol cars, the choppers.

Wrapping you and yours, and we are performing happily our part.
The progress of the diagnoses and treatments is amazing, as is the massive commitment to your good outcome on the part of the doctors and nurses.
And you have the Navy on your side, which is awesome.
Prayers up and I thank you and your family for the sacrifices your son has made in serving in our armed forces.
That was beautiful. Thank you.
Glad to hear it was caught and he is being treated right away. Thoughts and prayers for your son, Al, his wife and their new baby-to-be-born as well as for you and your husband. Your son sounds like a wonderful young man.
Will pray that your son will have a speedy recovery so he can be the best dad for a long, long time!
Adding my prayers.
