The last thing any parent wants to hear is, "your child has cancer". But those words are still ringing in their ears after this week of x-rays and blood tests. Knowing that many friends and family are praying for them, Lori begins the dialogue of what is sure to become a story we will all be following throughout the coming weeks and months.
"I am hesitant about what to say because we don't have the official diagnosis. At the moment, we do know that Brynn has a tumor. It will be biopsied next Tuesday. She will also have to have a PET scan and bone scan. The official diagnosis won't be known for approximately a week after the biopsy. We will let you know updates as they come. Brynn knows she will undergo some kind of chemo and, most likely, this will cause her to lose her hair. She, and we are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have already felt. Our faith is in our Heavenly Father and we know He hears the prayers of His children." ~ Lori
As we move forward from here, Brynn will continue to share her story as it unfolds.
