in Head and Neck Cancer #1

The 3 year old daughter of some very dear friends of ours was diagnosed with kidney cancer this week. They were shocked to find that it has spread to her lungs so they have staged it as stage IV. She will have to undergo six weeks of chemo before they reevaluate for surgery to remove her kidney. This little girl was my oldest daughter's first friend & they are still the best of friends now. 

 

She had a port placed yesterday & a biopsy. It will be either favorable or unfavorable histology. We are obviously praying it will be favorable. Please keep this family in your prayers. Her name is Zoe.

    Prayers

    Prayers from Liverpool. Puts everything in perspective. My wife works as a sister in Alder Hey Paediatric Hospital ITU. She has been there 25 years. There is not a week that gos by when we are not approached by patents whose children have survived very serious illness. This hospital is second only to Great Ormand St. London in UK. Miracles happen. My thoughts and prayers are with this little one one her family. G.

    I never really hated this f---ing desease for what it did to me but I certainly despise it for what it does to others especially children. My heart goes out to Zoe and her family and I pray and hope she kicks some butt.

    Prayer for Zoe

    Wow it is hard when anyone is told that they have C but even worse when it is one of the children. I pray that my Lord will watch over Zoe and give this little child and her parents the strength they need day by day.

    Prayers

    Prayers are coming for Zoe and her family.  Cancer is a beast, but more so when it involves a young child.  Seems like this country can find cures for everything but cancer.

    it's just not fair and I can't imagine having one of my children going through something like this.    Thoughts and prayers with the family. 

    Sincerely,

    UPDATE!

    Pathology came back sooner than expected & the tumor is a favorable pathology! Praise God! Her hemoglobin was low today & they believe her tumor is bleeding so she will have a blood transfusion & hopefully begin chemo early next week. Thank you for praying everyone, please keep them coming!!!

    It's so confusing

    knowing my God is a loving God, but, questioning the illness in a child. Megan, I pray Zoe will be okay and your daughter's best friend will soon be able to play and enjoy life.

    Healing Testimony

    One of the hardest things for me has been while taking my husband to his treatments and appointments to see all the children fighting cancer. However, I believe in healing and miracles. A very good friend shared the testimony on the link below. It really encouraged me. I hope it will encourage you as well.
