an update on Nick
The tumor was on the pineal gland, which deals with the optic nerve, so Nick now has double vision.

Will keep Nick in prayer.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and in the hour of our death. Amen.

here’s the latest diagnosis/status for Nick

They saw the doctor this morning, and Nick’s tumor is a germinoma (it’s possible that the tumor will return). They’re going to start radiation in 2 weeks to get rid of the remaining tumor. The doctor didn’t want to call it cancer; he just said it’s possible that it could return and was common in boys.

They’re going to do an MRI body scan to see if any parts of the tumor moved down the spinal column. They’re also going to do a spinal tap and spinal MRI to see if they can detect anything in the spinal fluid. Depending on their findings (a board of doctors is meeting on Wednesday to make a decision), they will decide on their course of action (radiation, chemotherapy, etc.).
 
Still praying

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us, sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

thank you all:grouphug:

i’m hopefully going to see nick today, they should have moved him out of ICU yesterday. he is a very optimistic young man, a good head on his shoulders 🙂

also today, the doctors will be planning out his chemo/radiation regiment to destroy the remaining tumor, because it will grow back.
 
Dear Chewchoo,
You’re probably already doing this, but I’m praying for Fr. Solanus’ intercession to heal your son! Your son will be in my rosaries. Much love,

thank you
Nick is actually my friend’s son…
i’ve been praying to whoever can help in this crisis.
but i haven’t directly prayed to fr. solanus yet, good idea, thank you
 
Sorry about that. I do remember that now. I think I posted that earlier. I will keep praying! God bless you for thinking of your friend’s son.👍
 
i saw nick yesterday.
he looks good, sounds good.
his double vision is causing him to stagger when he walks.
his first course of chemo starts within 2 weeks.
please continue to pray that this will destroy the remaining tumor.

if not he will need a second round of chemo and worst case more surgery.

thank you everyone :gopray2:
 
I am praying for your friend. The Saint for headaches, I believe, is St Dennis. He was decapitated for his faith. I will keep him in my prayers.

I am praying for Nick as well. May God bring something good out of this suffering, and ultimately may Nick be healed. :gopray:
