Dear Ladies,

Praise God! Our fears have been put to rest. Joseph went through a very difficult MRI today with genersl anesthesia but the results are a BENIGN tumor!!!! They are so certain they aren't even going to biopsy. Furthermore, tumor was much smaller than what the xray showed.

The prognosis is to just live with it unless it causes pain, with the tiny possibility of it getting some malignant growth in the future.

IT IS THE BEST NEWS!!! and I want to thank you all for the prayers. I needed them so much. THANK YOU!!!!

Dear Ladies,

I am begging for prayers.

My 2 yo, Joseph, has a bone tumor in his leg below his knee. On xray it goes extensively into his bone, on the outside we feel a bump.

He will undergo a sedated MRI this Wednesday morning, Novemeber 11th. From there they will determine if he will need a biopsy. Please pray for good news and all will be benign. Everything at this point is favoring a maglinant tumor: the location, shape, spread, etc.

I just don't know how I will endure this cross if he has cancer.

To complicate matters I have just started my 7th week of pregnancy and am getting very sick (as I have with all of my pregnancies). This is a difficult time for our family. Pray I can maintian enough strength in the next weeks to go through all this.

Please pray for us!

Sarah, I am so, so sorry to hear you are dealing with this enormous worry, praying to St Peregrine for your dear boy's leg.

Praying for your health as well, wonderful to hear you are expecting but I know how they have been rough with morning sickness, so praying for your relief there!

Putting your little boy and pregnancy on my miraculous medal prayer mobile.
