I may be gone for a bit...........
hey guys. just thought i post something here. Al already knows though facebook as well as anyone who has me on facebook. Yesterday my 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with Wilm's tumors on both kidneys.

the doc says if we caught it in time its curable. needless to say her mom myself and her biological dad are fearful. thanks for any well wishes that can be spared.
i will update this as much as i can and be around when i can.....
till next update...

Ben, your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope this blows over quickly. But issues like this is never a walk in the park. Hang in there and be strong. This sounds like it could be easily curable from what I have read in the link.
You got my phone number if you ever need to talk.

Re: I may be gone for a bit...........
I'll keep you in my prayers too bud. 2010 has been a rough year for my family as well...grandmother having a stroke, mother diagnosed with cancer and step-father was just told today that he only has 3-5 years to live unless they can find a liver donor because his is shot. Good luck and God bless you bud.
Re: I may be gone for a bit...........
Thanks guys and i will keep everyone in my thoughts as well.
Update:
home tonight no new answers. got to see a surgeon and a kidney specialist in the morning. wont know anything till the biopsy. Arieal is tiered of being poke and prodded but is as cheerful as ever. She has to be one of
the most bravest people i know
They said it could be scar tissue but the chances are not high that that is true.

Re: I may be gone for a bit...........
hang in there bro, she's a trooper. keep strong for her and hopefully this obstical will be over soon
Re: I may be gone for a bit...........
well we have some good news and some bad news....
1st. its not the cancer. the "tumors" are scar tissue. her kidneys are not fully formed.
the bad news is she in stage 2 kidney failure. that is bad yes but not as bad as the stage 5 cancer. she will need to change a lot of things and take new meds and be checked regularly. Doctors and tests will be a fact of life now. She will need a transplant and dialysis every so often though out her life but she still has up to 5 years before we reach that stage. Her family is big and im sure we will find donors though out the time.
I want to thank everyone for there good thoughts and wishes.

Re: I may be gone for a bit...........
Well it sounds as if our prayers have been answered for now.
Thank God for that. I'm glad it's not cancer. But then again, I'm sorry she has such week kidneys. It's going to be a rough life for her.

Re: I may be gone for a bit...........
It's a relief to hear it's not cancer. I hope you can find a suitable donor for her. My best regards to you and your family, Ben. :)

Re: I may be gone for a bit...........
she had to get a Bladder reflux study. that is where they catheterize her. (that didnt go well she spazed out) then we went to the kidney doc. he told us her kidneys are functioning at about 25% of normal. dyialis starts around 10-15% so we still have a year or two before that happens. eventually we will have to give her 2 shoots (one to help blood production, another will be a growth hormone). that will start happening withing 6 months.
Good news is we are now drawing blood once a month. kidney ultrasound every 3 months.......
poor girl is having soooooooo much stress and anxiety. she has counseling next week.

Re: I may be gone for a bit...........
i wish there was something I can do.
We all would wish her troubles away but there is no damn Genie in a bottle.
It's going to be very harsh and stressful for her for a long time.
Then it will become just an average part of her life.

Couldn't have said it better myself Dirge.
If you need to talk you know we are here Bee. Sometimes talking with someone who is at a distance can do a lot of good. I talk out of experience :)
Hope she will soon be better. My best wishes to her, you and the rest of your family
Hugs, Karen
