    Default Some bad news

    A couple weeks ago, my wife noticed a bump on the back of my 6 month old's neck. After a bunch of doctors and a biopsy, they have confirmed it to be neuroblastoma. My wife took it pretty hard at first, but is doing better. My daughter seems to be happy and healthy. It was good that the lump was on her neck, instead of on some internal organ that we couldn't see. Right now they are trying to see if it is in other parts of her body, then we will start treatment. Monday she gets bone marrow taken.

    You guys are practically family so I felt like I should tell you.

    Any prayers or positive thoughts are welcome.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you all. (By the way, I'm sure you meant biopsy, not autopsy?...)

    That put an extra lump in my throat reading before I figured out what he meant.

    Let us(or me) know if there's anything that would help
