Several years ago our daughter-in-law was diagnosed with thyroid cancer that kept going to other places after she had her thyroid removed. Ultimately she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

After several operations and an experimental treatment that surrounded the non-Hodgkins lymphoma cells and smothered them, she was in remission. You have to wait for a period of time to be declared in remission.

Last week she was shaving under her arms and found a lump about the size of a pea. She thought it might be an ingrown hair. Today she shaved under her arms again and found that the pea-sized growth is now the size of a quarter.

She will see her endocrinologist on Tuesday as her oncologist’s waiting list is too long to have it checked and her family doctor wouldn’t do what the endocrinologist would do.

I expect she will be sent for surgery to have this removed, it will be biopsied and if found to be malignant treatment will be again given.

She has a 15 year old son and a 13 year old daughter, along with our son as her husband.

Non-Hodgkins lymphoma is actually a cancer of the body. It strikes anywhere in the body as it did when she had it before.

I personally ask all readers of this blog who pray to bombard heaven with requests that this will be benign. As soon as I know more I will let you know. I thank you in advance.
