Dear ladies

It's been ages since I've posted, but I'm here to beg your prayers.

Yesterday our darling baby, Beatrice, was diagnosed with cancer. She is 14 months old.

My husband, who is a doctor, had felt a lump in her tummy. The hospital did an ultrasound and found a tumour the size of a grapefruit.

We are struggling to believe it as she is apparently so well and bonny. She has just started walking.

We are going to another hospital today for further tests which will tell us more. Meanwhile, a google search of neuroblastoma has left me in a state of panic.

Please could you pray for her, and for us and our four older children? Thank you so much.

Elizabeth in London UK

Oh, Doris- my heart aches for your family. I will pray- offering up my day for you today, and I will include Beatrice in my Christmas novena.

Most Merciful Savior, please heal this little one!

I am praying! One of my goddaughters was diagnosed with cancer the same way - her mommy found a lump. It took a while, but Maggie is cancer-free today.

I'll be praying for all of you, especially for your sweet baby....

Elizabeth,
I've missed seeing you around, and I'm so glad you have invited us to pray for you, your precious little girl, and your family. You have my prayers!!!

What a time of worry and concern when there are far more questions than answers! Do guard yourself against all that is "possible" and allow God's grace to support you through just what is known for today.

Know that we are praying for you and for your littlest! Please do keep us posted when you can!
