Special Prayer Request for World Cancer Day

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

Please keep a special family in your thoughts and prayers this weekend as their little one was just diagnosed with AML.

It reminds me of our diagnosis and brings back all those memories… we would never wish this on anyone but we hope that we can help them as they travel this path.

So please keep them, and all the families who have received a cancer diagnosis, in your thoughts and prayers as Sunday, February 4th, is also World Cancer Day. No one ever expects to be one of those affected by cancer until they are… please pray!

If you have any special prayer requests please leave your name in the comments and we will add you to our prayer list.

If you or someone you know has been recently diagnosed then you might find this list helpful… it was geared more towards having a young child but you may find some tips and ideas for patients of any age:

The past few months have been complete chaos around here. We had just felt like things were getting kind of ‘normal’ when our 9 month old was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia or AML for short.

When one family member gets diagnosed with something like this it feels like the whole family has been diagnosed… it’s been a challenging situation.

Hers was actually caught before it had transitioned to leukemia so she didn’t have any of the common symptoms… you wouldn’t even have known she was sick. In fact, she had just gotten a clean bill of health the day before from her cardiologist and we had celebrated that evening with a dinner.
