Ive processed a bit and ready to give an update. Today Miguel had his procedures done. He had the tumor biopsied,they took his bone marrow, he also had the port placed for chemo which will be started once we know what kind of cancer we are dealing tomorrow we do the PET scan to see exactly where else this cancer has spread to. The big tumor looks as if it is originating from his prostate and extending up pushing into his bladder. There are masses on his hip bones and also his lungs. This looks to be a very aggressive cancer. This was a shock to say the least , hes barely had a cold over the last year and now hes a cancer patient .. Saturday morning he was running and playing like a normal 8 year old but by saturday night/early sunday we were being sent to childrens hospital and being admitted into the oncology department. Everyone has been great here theyre all helping me cope the best they can. Theyve got all hands on deck ive met so many doctors nurses, social workers, child life specialists. Im still running around like a chicken with my head cut off but its starting to get a bit easier. I miss my kids at home but i have to be here i have to be here to give consent for everything since i have full custody of him. Thank god everyones work is being super flexible right now and letting them off without issue so the girls have people they are familiar with at home since im not able to be there. Im doing the best i can at the moment. I know there is a long road ahead of us.i will write out more updates as soon as i get more info, process it and am ready to share how my journey is going. Never in a million years did i think childhood cancer would affect one of my children but i guess thats exactly how cancer works it can affect anyone at any age. All i can say is #cancersucks
Prayers momma🙏🏻 I know it’s not easy right now but stay strong! ❤️
@mom4m, as far as coping, I would say make his room as comfortable and normal as possible. I’m not sure how long of a stay you guys have, but we would bring things from home, like pillows, blankets, board games, etc. Bring things for him and also for you. And know it’s okay to take a walk and take care of you. Eat, sleep, get fresh air. It’s hard for them to understand. I used to try to explain as questions were asked, but in the gentlest and age appropriate way as I knew to.
I’m really sorry you have to go thru this you and your little man will be in my prayers God bless you and your little fighter sending positive vibes may God heal him🙏🙏
@murdock_ thank you! I was actually thinking of you when i was writing my post hopeing youd see it and be able to give me some ways to cope with this. Im so scared.. Im afraid of the unknown at this point. Ive been finding comfort in the fact that we now know its there before its actually had a chance to make him feel sick. Right now he doesnt really know whats going on he feels completely normal. He keeps telling me theres nothing wrong with him and asking why we arent able to go home and why he needed to get all these procedures done when he feels fine.
Sending my love. I know how scary it is. You just take it a day, and even a breath at a time. Your kiddo is a fighter, and his mama is his queen. #fuckcancer
My heart hurts for you, Momma! Sending all my positive vibes your way!
Thank you for your brave post. You are in my heart and prayers!

I don't know your pain and how absolutely terrified you much but you and you little one are in my prayers. I pray that God heals your sweet child
Prayers for strength for you, your family, and most of all your son. 🙏❤️
I can’t imagine what you’re going through. Just know I’ll be praying for all of you. Praying for healing, peace and comfort ❤️
I wish I had words that could comfort you..... know that I am sending all my love, strength, energy & positivity to you and you little one.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
I can't find words to tell you how sorry I am your baby boy is going through this. I'm praying so much for yous. Huge hug momma🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤
