| Quote: | | On February 19, 2007 (4 days shy of being 3-months old), Lincoln Womeldorph was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma. It is a rare form of cancer. On 2/15/07, Lincoln was taken to the ER with what we and the Pediatrician thought was constipation or a twisted bowel and the ER sent him home with care instructions for a bladder infection. The next day (Fri), Lincoln was back at the hospital for more tests because he was not urinating and cried inconsolably. These tests revealed a 9 cm diameter pear shaped tumor in his lower pelvic area that had completely obstructed his bladder. We had to wait until Monday at 4pm to have an operation to see if they could remove the tumor. During surgery they realized they could not remove it without damage to near by organs. So they did a biopsy. The results came back malignant, our son has cancer and our world started spinning fast. |
