Rose your family is in my prayers!

oh Rose so far the news sounds promising. I hope and pray all goes well and she has a speedy recovery

I'm sorry to hear that about your sister. :( I hope everything goes well for her surgery and that it's not cancer. Prayers for your sister, Maggie, you & your family. :hands:

Will be praying for your sister and family. Prayer Works. Be Positive.:)

Hello all,
My sister went for her appointment with the doctor today. She was accompanied by another one of my sisters, and 2 of her 3 daughters (her 3rd daughter is flying in from Florida).
Here is what I know:
- the tumor is on the left, kind of right above her ear and is about 1 1/2 inches. It is the area that directs her ability to speak & formulate her words.They were also told that the occurance of a tumor like this looks to be, for whatever reason, cells gone wrong, and is NOT hereditary or familial.
- the medication she's been on has reduced the inflammation or pressure in that area, so she is speaking a little easier
- Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday @ 1:30pm & should take about 3 hours. The tumor seems to be near the surface making it's removal a little less difficult. They will do a biopsy on it as soon as it is removed, while the surgeon continues working. They will not know if it is cancerous until that is done.
- She will be in the hospital for 3-5 days and off work for at least 3-4 weeks.
- Best case scenario: the tumor could be a sac of infection that could be drained, cleaned, and treated with anti-biotics. That of course is what we are praying for.

So now we wait again & hope for a successful outcome to Maggie's surgery, and a problem-free recuperation. Please, keep those prayers coming for Maggie and her family.
Thanks so much!

Maggie and family are in my prayers. Hoping for the best.

She is in my prayers. Hope she gets better!

Sending prayers!

Please add my prayers to those of others! :hands:

Rose, we will certainly keep your family in our prayers. Big hugs to you and all of your family. :)

So very sorry, praying for your sister:hands:

Will continue to pray for your sister...:)

Not the news we were hoping for.............
 

Just got a call from one of my sisters.......

Maggie came out of surgery okay, but the tumor was cancerous and in the later stages. They got out as much as they could. I am told it is the same (or similar?) to the cancer that Sen. Edward Kennedy has. I don't really know what her prognosis is exactly except to do whatever needs to be done to make the best out of a very bad situation. I don't know what to think, I'm just kind of numb right now...........
Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Oh Rose, I am so sorry but you know God is able!!!!!!!!I am still praying with you.

Oh Dear, I am so sorry to hear about your sister's situation.

Sending prayers her way right now.
