The Incomplete Results Are In

In the last two days I have been on the phone so often with the doctors office that I’m beginning to feel like a stalker. Don’t get me wrong, they have been great and in all fairness some of those calls were made by Dr. L’s nurse to let me know that Dr. L was working with pathology in getting Sarah’s results as soon as possible. Dr. L did finally have an opportunity to call me this evening to let me know that the pathologists have concluded it is 100% lymphoma. Unfortunately, they are still unable to type what kind of lymphoma it is without further pathology study. We should know more by Thursday.

What does this all mean exactly?

Plainly put, my 8 year old daughter who loves animals, singing, coloring, playing dress up with her friends, being a cheerleader and who has not lived long enough to be jaded by the sorrow that life can bring, has cancer. Only question left is what type of cancer does she have?

How does an 8 year old little girl get cancer? It’s not fair. Strong soldiers with lots of training go to war not little girls, not my little girl. My heart is breaking.

  2. As a mother and as her aunt I wish there was something I can do to ease your pain. It is totally not fair for such a young child to have to deal with such an illness. Just know that her aunt jenny and the rest of the crew here in New York will only have positive thoughts and will do anything to comfort and help you. We love you

  3. Know that Sarah brings formidable weaponry to this war: her tenacious and indomitable character; two strong, knowledgeable and determined parents who love her fiercely; a dedicated team of specialists; and a host of family and friends ready to do whatever they can to help her win her war.

  4. The physical distance between us makes this time more difficult for me, however this doesn't prevent me from offering you and family my shoulders for you to lean on. When you feel you don't have the courage to move forward just know that I will give you my strength and faith to carry you forward.
    All we need now is a crazy scotsman painted blue and a battle cry. Sweet Sarah here we come.

  6. Dear Diana, even though we haven´t seen each other in a long time, as a cousin, aunt, and a mother, I can´t even begin to imagine the pain you, and the rest of the family is going through. My heart aches for you, and prays that she shall overcome this war. I always enjoy reading your comments and seeing how close you are to your kids, I´ll have you in my prayers and in my heart, receive my love cousin... good idea about the blog, we can be in touch, know about Sarah, and you can focus on her <3 cousin, give her a kiss from her family in Mexico, Mónica
