Please pray for my cousin - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Blair_Warner02 · 12-12-2003, 04:09 PM

My cousin who is in his mid-20's has been living with Hodgkin's Disease for about 7 years and it has never really gone into remission.

On December 18th, he will undergo surgery to remove a tumor that is attached to his esophogus and wrapped around several vital organs. To remove this tumor the surgeon must stop his heart and take it out, shutting down all of his organs. This is a very risky surgery, so risky that it took awhile to find a surgeon who was willing to perform the operation.

The family is concerned that the operation is being done so close to Christmas. We have a huge family who gets together for a reunion every year after Christmas. The reunion is scheduled for the 27th which also happens to be his birthday.

Please keep him in your prayers, it would be devastating if we lost him so close to Christmas.

Aww. I'm sorry to hear that. He's much too young to be going through this. I'm sure everything will turn out OK though.

david&maddie4ever · 12-13-2003, 12:36 AM

Aww...that's terrible.

And it's even worse so close to Christmas. I'll keep him in my prayers, and I hope all goes well.

Your cousin is in my prayers...

Blair_Warner02 · 12-17-2003, 02:06 PM

Thanks for your prayers, he needs all he can get. His chances for survival are 50/50. We thought they would be lower since no surgeon wanted to do the operation.

TheBert · 12-17-2003, 03:31 PM

my thoughts and prayers are with him now! i hope everything turns out alright for him and of course for your family so that you can have a very nice christmas together with this year!

My cousin's surgery has been postponed for about a month. He lost the use of one of his arms because of a lump and the doctors want to run some more tests to see what it is.
