Prayers for friends child
Hi all, I am here to ask for prayers for a little boy who is only 7 years old. He is the son of my fathers friend. This man just lost his daughter a week ago in a car accident. Then this week his son broke his arm and the Drs saw something on the Xray that was Suspicious. Cancer is one suspect, they are doing tests to determine what it is. Please pray for this little boy and his family. Thank you all so much, God Bless !
Donna

Donna, I think there are thousands of benign lesions in bone
that could be responsible for an abnormal xray finding near/at a fracture site in a child for every primary or metastatic tumor that could be(what I have gleaned from my reading)
Hope this information gives you some solace.

I will pray for the little one, he must be frightened with all this going on. My little girl, who's 10 has a huge lump on the side of her knee that we noticed a year ago. I thought it was a lump from a skating fall. After doing an X-ray our GP sent us to a specialist. The doctor ordered and MRI and it took a week to get the results. It was extra cartledge in the growth plate area. I remember how frightened we were with everything that had been going on. We tried not to show it for her but she was scared of the MRI. She will eventually need to have it shaved off but she will not hear of it, the doctor wanted to see her back in a year and said it was no hurry, if it started bothering her she might change her mind. It is hard for us to deal with our on health problems but when it's our children it's terrifying. I will pray your friends son has something simple and is not serious...sherryg683
