Last Monday it was confirmed that my Nephew Seth has Rhabdomyosarcoma. We didn't know about the lump he has in his hand until about 9-10 weeks ago. Apparently he injured his hand last December and not long after a lump appeared on his palm just below his thumb. It wasn't all that painful so he didn't say much to his mum. At the time his parents were fighting and then went through a very nasty break up, which has put a huge amount of Stress on the kids. Then earlier in the year it started to grow and become painful. So his mum took him to a Dr and he was sure it was a Ganglion Cyst. But his mum just had a gut instinct that it was more than that and insisted they do further tests. So after the MRI ect were done he phone her with the news that it was cancer. He then went to the Royal Childrens in Melbourne for biopsy. He was diagnosed and then went for more tests to see if it is anywhere else in his body. So far it's in his hand, muscles, bones and probably his chest. He's going back there this week for more tests, chemo and on Thursday amputation of his hand.
He and his mum have an excellent support system. Seth's reaction to losing his hand was "well I will be the first famous one handed AFL (Australian Football League) player". Just love the kids SOOOOOOOOOOO much. Hate to think of the pain the poor little man will have to go through.
Pray for our special little man.
