My favorite cousin, who lives in the Houston, Texas, area, is undergoing tests for what doctors believe is cancer. Near or on the liver. She's had 2 CT scans; last radiologist says he believes the mass is malignant. She'll see one, maybe two GI docs this next week.
My cousin is 51, has an 18YO son who was born with multiple birth defects (visual, hearing, bilateral cleft palate, some mental retardation, 1 kidney removed @ 1 week of age, some heart defects but I'm not sure exactly what). She has made her son's life much more rounded than it would be otherwise -- he's in Special Olympics, goes to residential camps, etc.
I have admired her dedication to her son very much. God knew her son would be in good hands with her as his mom.
As expected, she's quite shaken right now.
She's like a sister to my two sisters and me and another daughter to my parents.
My family would appreciate prayers for Donna.
