Please pray for my cousin. She's had health problems all her life, and she now has a mysterious condition that her doctors can't diagnose. She was in the ER while on a trip with her parents and has had all kinds of tests - no conclusive results. One doc says thyroid, another says brain illness.

Needless to say, we are all very concerned - she is in pain and no one can figure out how to help her.

Thanks very much for your prayers.

9/30 ETA: Update below. More prayers are needed. Thank you!

It's thyroid cancer. I can only think your prayers inspired one doctor to backtrack through MRIs and test results, because he found discrepancies he didn't like, which led him to test result errors, which led to a diagnosis of thyroid cancer. My cousin is now recuperating from her surgery at my aunt and uncle's home.

She has a long way to go - they think they got all the cancer cells, but now she has to have daily blood tests while they stabilize her synthetic thyroid meds. This process can be lengthy and difficult.

Thanks for your prayers...I know they are helping. My mom is very thankful, too.

Just seeing this, Nancy. Your cousin will be in my prayers--especially our nightly family Rosary...

Oh no! Cancer...I do hope they have gotten everything, certainly I will pray for that.

Yes it certainly can be, so I will pray for her needs there too.

I'm so sorry, Nancy. I will keep her in my prayers. I've been putting off my thyroid scan for a while. Time to get it re-checked
