My youngest son had surgery yesterday to check his lymph nodes as a pet scan showed them to be the size of limes, normal nodes are pea sized. Surgeon says he is 99% sure he has lymphoma. We will not know for certain until up to ten days when pathology has their tests completed. He has been losing weight and had pain in his groin and abdomen for some time now.
This is not my biological son but I have had him since he was barely five years old and I am the only dad he ever has known and vise versa. This sucks and I am still processing this.. He and his mother are entoute from the hospital to home now and he does not know what is going on yet due to the pain killers such as OxyContin and dillaudid. We still have to tell him.
I used to be a very religious man until ten years ago when I lost my only brother to suicide, since then I have questioned my faith in Christ. The bible says the prayers of a righteous man prevailuth much. I am asking for prayers please. My son is 21 years young and is a wonderful young man, he lives right, does not drink, ***** around or do any drugs and lives a humble life. He has had many health issues for his short life.
I am not a drinker as a habit or casualy but tonight as I type this I am hitting the crown pretty hard and am heart broken. Thank you my other family.
