I just found out yesterday that my best friends mom, who's 16w preg. has regressed to a stage 4 in her fight with cancer.

Let me give you a little information about her so that you know whats up. She was diagnosed with cancer about 8 or 9 months ago. Its a very rare cancer that only three people a year are diagnosed with around the world. They first found it in the muscle of her leg and they removed it and a large portion of the surrounding muscle, just to be sure. They went back a month or so later and took a biopsy to make sure they got all of it and it came back that they had, they gave her radiation treatment just to be on the safe side. Then a month or so after that they found it in her groin, which they easily removed that, but made her take a round of kemotherapy.
Her doctors and her thought that they were in the clear by the time that she found out that she was pregnant, but now they found a new cluster and its in one of her lymph nodes... if you know anything about cancer, you know that her chances of living are pretty slim now that its in her lymph nodes. They say that she's in Stage 4 because it spread farther than just a little bit, and now that its in her lymph nodes anytime she gets swollen lymph nodes they have to remove the lymph node. I dont know what to do but pray that she and the baby are going to be alright. I know that there's nothing that they can do about the cancer while preg... but I still believe in the power of prayer and how it can be very healing.
