Prayers desperately needed...

Well, it's been a month or so since I last posted, but it's just been so hectic for me lately. Tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. I am undergoing an open lymph node biopsy. Some of you may remember me posting about this before, but for those who don't, here's a brief synopsis of the last 3 years of my life, beginning in October 2002: Miscarriage at 12 weeks ---> while waiting to go into OR for D&C, diagnosed with dangerously low blood platelets ---> began hemorrhaging ---> platelet transfusion ---> prednisone on/off for the next year and a half ---> bone marrow biopsy, which showed an abnormal lymphocyte something-or-other ---> $30,000 per injection drugs which did nothing ---> splenectomy ---> Rituxan, a low-dose chemo, 4 injections at between 5-6 hours each ---> multiple infections over the next 2 years ---> strep pneumonia in July '05, hospitalized for 5 days, just hours from overwhelming sepsis ---> four enlarged lymph nodes discovered in August '05 ---> diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome ---> open lymph node biopsy set for October 11th ---> hematologist suspects I have a low-grade lymphoma or Non-Hodgkins. It will take about a week for Pathology to have the results, and honestly, I'm terrified. My daughter will be 5 next month, and I just don't want to be going through this. So, if you can, please say a prayer for me and keep me in your thoughts. I have been hanging out around 151-152 for about two months now. Today I bought a size 7 Levi's jean, which made me feel pretty good at least. I haven't had the energy to deal with much lately; I am always so exhausted and just can't concentrate well anymore. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. ~Christine~ 257 / 151 / I'm done
