suitcasey : I need to ask for very serious prayer for Andy
suitcasey : We have had some bad news today...he has had tests done all week because of swollen lymph nodes in his neck ..he had a chest x-ray as well
suitcasey : we saw the doctor this morning and he has nodes all in his chest cavity as well
suitcasey : THere are one of two diagnosis..either sarcoidosis which is not cancer but is a serious immuney system disease, or it's lymphoma which is cancer :'(
suitcasey : They are sending him to a heamatologist and have ordered a CT scan to make a complete diagnosis
suitcasey : they will do a biopsy of the nodes as well
suitcasey : Please lift Andy and I up in prayer..we are in a state of shock
suitcasey : Pray for the lesser of the two diagnosis..the sarcoidosis because it is not cancer and can be treated easily with certain drugs
suitcasey : we are going to believe God for a healing and try to find His peace to get us through these next weeks and months
suitcasey : we will know for certain when he has the biopsy and CT scan but it is one of the two..either lymphoma or sarcoidosis
