The MRIs done on Monday indicated that the mass in her leg appears to be fluid filled - without solid portions. The X-ray showed her bones in the area to be healthy and intact. ... PRAISE GOD for that! ...
They did a lot more blood tests today after our meeting with her doctor (there were a ton done on Monday too, as we had to go to the ER first thing in the morning due to increased pain and swelling below the mass).
The doctor said she would call me with the results of the blood tests done today later tonight. Some are very specific for “markers” of several different illnesses, and yes they will be specifically testing for any cancer markers still as well.
Of course, seeing as we don’t have a diagnosis and there are still some serious possibilities in play with this, and my daughter is still in a lot of pain we appreciate continued prayers for her health, and for our family regarding our financial situation as well. (We are fortunate to have good health insurance although we are still struggling to get back on our feet after my husband’s layoff last year.)
Again, I will never be able to say thank you enough, or even express how grateful I am for all my brothers and sisters here at FR! May God bless all of you abundantly!
Most sincerely, LR
= = = FINALLY, THE LAST OF THE BACKGROUND INFO From earlier on Thursday, 2/11
LR: I spoke with the Child Oncologist's Assistant. She got us in to see one of the Adolescent Pediatricians in their office (same office - so the Oncologist will look at the records WITH this other doctor). I cannot tell you how wonderful this assistant was with us. I was crying with thanks by the time we got off the phone -- a matter of 10 minutes and someone with fresh ears listening... an absolute Godsend! We have an appointment at 2:30 this afternoon !!!
Big hugs to everyone -- keep those prayers coming because we still need them! [Hearts] to all of you! :)

Prayers for Amanda, family and doctors.
Signing off now.
EVERYONE:
Thanks so much for praying for LibertyRocks’ daughter.
Prayers going up!
A young friend of mine is in a very similar situation right now - an unidentified lump on her shoulder. Blood work has looked OK; ultrasound ruled out a typical cyst, and the MRI was inconclusive.
They went to the Mayo Clinic this week for more tests and a biopsy; no word yet on results. Scary for her and her family, and I’m sure the same is true for you.
I pray that God holds her and her family - and you and yours - in His hands, and gives you strength and peace.

Mandy, you and all her family as well as her medical caretakers continue in my prayers.
Prayer sent for you
Hoping that it's harmless cysts of some sort. They can be hard to explain.
May God be with you all. Fear Not.
Healing prayers for Amanda.
