Prayers Requested
I am posting today requestiing prayers for my husband. I read this board daily and only post occasionally. My husband successfully fought mandibular sarcoma two and a half years ago, undergoing radiation, partial neck dissection, mandibulectomy, and fibula free flap surgeries. He goes in every three months for scans and has two small spots in his lungs that the doctors are watching, but not concerned about. This past weekend he noticed a lump in his neck on the opposite side from his original cancer. He is really worried, despite my assurances that it's probably an enlarged lymph node. I know that's much easier for me to say than for him to think after all he's been through. We go to his head/neck oncologist today for our three month appt. I am asking for prayers to ease his anxiety and for good news. Thanks and God Bless you all.

My prayers are with you for
My prayers are with you for speedy recovery of your husband, lymph glands swell for many reasons but I know where you are with the worry. Every time I feel a bump or lump I think it's a warning sign again but it turns out innocent. I have just read Hondoo's profile and he's overcome many problems with prayer. My thoughts are with you.

You got'em, Tracey!
Sending prayers and positive thoughts for your husband.....tucking him into the old phrannie pocket, too....rads cause so many long term changes....lumps, bumps, plug ups, pains.....it's probably something innocent.....it's just so hard not to get scared.

PRAYERS ON
Hey Tracey,
I'm very sorry to hear that your husband has these new uncertain issues to deal with. We are acutely sensitive to anything that seems even remotely irregular, because you just never know. So, I deeply hope that the spots and the lump are not remotely beast related. Prayers on the way, along with the best wishes and hopes for a positive outcome/explanation for these things.

Prayer on the way
Definitely a reason to be very nervous, but as you and everyone here knows, "it's not cancer until the biopsy says so."
Prayers and positive MOJO on the way.
Best

Hi Tracey
Remember it is not cancer until the doctor tells you it is cancer. Because of all the radiation and chemo that we took our body have changed, he may get some swelling at times ever being years out from treatment, don’t let it worry you. My C was a fight for my life because it came back three times but never the same way. I will keep you both in my prayer as there is a power we know nothing about that gives healing when we all pray for someone. Believe and have faith and let God do the rest no matter what.

Thank you for all your
Thank you for all your prayers. We saw the doctor yesterday and she did not seem overly concerned about the lump, but ordered a CT just to err on the side of caution. We are leaving for vacation this Friday, so he'll do the scan when we get back. His healing has been pretty good, so hopefully everything will be resolved in a couple of weeks. Now pray for good weather at the beach!!
