From the other side.

Ive posted this on the other side also. I know that I've seen a lot of (supposed) doctors posting on these boards, and I won't be able to speak to our doctor until tomorrow.

Please...I need more information than I can get from a random web search. My daughter was just diagnosed.

Edit: The other side is behaving strangley, or my Blackberry is freaking out. I can't view my post at all.

This was posted yesterday. I've been worried. I used the forum e-mail to reach him, but I've never had it actually work for me before. Has anyone been in contact with him?

If he's talking about hepatoblastoma, his daughter will be needing all our prayers. Does anyone live in the D.C. area?

Oh man. The name is just too much irony. I hope everything turns out all right. (prays)

Prayers being sent!

Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :

Oh man.
I will definitively think and pray for him.

I'm going to D.C. tomorrow -- but I don't have any way of contacting THT to see how it's going...

(I'm wondering if they will take her down to St. Jude's.....)

*bump*

I got an e-mail that just said "Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and prayers."

[Frown]

THT, let us know if there's anything we can do.

Praying, very hard.

Diagnosed with what?

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

Sorry. The topic of the thread was, "I need information: Everything about hepatoblastomy."

Posted by Bean Counter (Member # 6001) on :

Sounds horrible! I have no idea what it is though. However for what it is worth you have my prayes for health and well being, for you and those you love!

Hepatoblastomy = Hepatic resection surgeries.

If they are resecting something out of a liver, it's probably not a good thing. The most obvious choice being hepatoblastoma, which is a tumor.

Background: Hepatoblastoma is the most common malignant liver tumor in early childhood. Most patients present younger than age 3 years with an enlarging asymptomatic abdominal mass. Some patients have fever, pain, anorexia, and weight loss. The two most important genetic conditions associated with hepatoblastoma are Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis.

I thought about posting that Allegra, but the M&M freaked me out.

Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :

*Sending thoughts*

Posted by Allegra (Member # 6773) on :

M&M?

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

Mortality/morbidity.

Don't you watch ER? [Wink]

Posted by Allegra (Member # 6773) on :

Ah. I have only seen the show a few times. I do watch the Lifetime hospital show, but they do not discuss M&M.

I choose to only post what it was and let others read on for the same reason.

The kindness of (relative) strangers is touching and moving in ways that I cannot begin to express. To even attempt to put my gratitude into words would do us all a disservice.

The situation is not as bad it could have been. The doctors found a small, pea-sized mass on the right lobe of her liver. Heptoblastoma is not normally caught at this early a stage, but thankfully it does not appear to have matasticized and can be removed by surgery.

Excellent. That sounds very optimistic. Keep us up to date. People around here will want to pray for her during surgery and what not.

Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :

I'm so glad they found it early and that things sound optomistic. I'll be praying for all of you.

Posted by romanylass (Member # 6306) on :

I'll keep praying....will she have chemo, too?

Posted by Theca (Member # 1629) on :

Wow, that is really good that she got diagnosed so early. I'm glad to hear it.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

I hope all goes well and she gets better soon.

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

oh, good. I hope she troops through.

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

THT, that sounds positive. Good to hear. I hope all goes well with surgery.

Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :

That seems like some good news. I hope and pray she gets better. [Group Hug]

Posted by Kiwi (Member # 7982) on :

Wow, that's great. Good luck! [Smile]
