My worst Thanksgiving ever! I am so sad [View all]

Last edited Thu Nov 22, 2012, 06:06 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

My son called me today told me his bone cancer is back. They found two new tumors in the pelvic area. He had surgery a couple
months ago for the same thing. They want to do surgery next week. All my faith has left me right now. I just recovered from a stroke and a broken ankle> Life seems to be throwing trash at us.
