:hug: Prayers being sent. My brother had this when he was 19. They caught it early enough for him, and hoping the same for your son.

Prayers being sent for your son and your family...

You're all so wonderful! Reading thru all the posts, my eyes begin to fill with tears as I become ever so thankful for such great friends. We've heard many stories of men who have had this same type of cancer and have fathered children afterwards. Someone said to me in chatroom last nite "Tell your son to send his sperm to bank so he can have kids later on". It kinda hit a nerve with me at the time. I replied "Right now we're just praying that our son is able to get through the surgery and not require tons of radiation..I'd rather have a healthy son than a zillion grandkids right now!!"
He's now telling family when they call that he's "kinda scared". Well duh, of course we get scared. I remember myself many yrs ago when an Air Force dr. said to me..."Marilyn, we don't know what is causing the severe abdominal pain you've been having for months, we're going to cut in the middle and do exploratory surgery". It truly IS a frightening feeling, not knowing what you're going to come out of surgery with..or without!! Turned out that I had ovarian cysts that were larger than the ovaries themselves, but they were lying on the backs of the ovaries and not noticable with xrays. I had 2 healthy boys after such surgery too!!!! We're keeping the faith, we know the power of prayer, and we know that he's at a world known Clinic with wonderful surgeons. :grouphug: Marilyn |
I'm so glad you checked in, Marilyn, you seemed so down the other day. Keep the faith, sister, we're all right here with you.:hug:

Remember too...Lance Armstrong overcame his cancer and look what he went on too. So getting it early and having the support of family, plus everyone's prayers....I'm sure he will do okay. Tootsie |

I'm so sorry to hear this. :( Is this the son who spent time in Denmark? Your whole family, as well as his girlfriend, will be in my prayers. |
No Kathy, this is the son that lives here in town with us and is a Civil Engineer for the state of Ohio. The one that was in Denmark doing international architecture study at the college there in Copenhagen is now an architect and living in Chicago, IL.
We had a bit of a scare over the wknd with this son that's to have the surgery. He had bronchitis a couple of wks ago and was on antibiotic, but then on Saturday he started running fever again and coughing a lot. Prayers have already been answered (after 2 days of his temp being up to 101) as he said he's feeling better and not coughing as much this morning!!! AMEN!!! As of right now, it's still a go for surgery tomorrow. The clinic was sweet enough to give his girlfriend personal days off for the rest of the week and not dock her any pay. They aren't even ENGAGED yet, and I truly don't know how we'd be making it through all of this without her. She's such a support to Keith thru this all. My husb. is taking an extra day off on Wednesday too. We're going to become housekeepers for a day! LOL The girlfriend will have her hands full caring for Keith, so hubby and I are going to go in and do their sweeper, dusting, dishes, laundry kinda stuff for them. I shall keep you all posted......thanks ever so much for your love and friendship. :grouphug: Marilyn |
