Milliary TB or Lymphoma

Months ago my eleven year old special child was confined in the hospital for chronic pain in his right leg with which i supposed to believe that it was part of growing pain since his age is at the stage for teenage. However, upon further examinations and laboratories performed that includes CT Scan, lymph nodes were spotted in both lungs that doctor initially ruled out as Milliary  Tuberculusis. As per doctors clinical explaination, chronic pain in his right leg was one of the manifestation of Milliary that scattered not only in his lungs but almost all parts of the body. Uneasy and extreme pains were being experienced by my special child who has been diagnosed as down syndrome when he was still four or five years old that even if medications were on process. For over a week of confinement and with full trust to his doctors advised, he was released in the hospital but unfortunately conditions were not turned to be favorable that leads me into doubt on the diagnosis of his doctor. I then seeked for second opinion, ALAS.... gave me more worries because my other friend doctor initially diagnosed him as Lymphoma and referred as to a specialist an Infectious disease and were eventually referred to a Hematology for they have a common diagnosis. Hematology doctor referred to her friend surgeon for immediate operation so that lymph nodes will be biopsized. Results will be a week after, then comes now the thrills and worries and anxieties.

Both doctors pre-set my mind and even told me to pray harder that results will be a Milliary TB instead of Lymphoma. I usually attend masses every day as part of my daily activities despite my very hectic schedule of having two jobs, being a college faculty member in one of the biggest university in cebu and at the same time a Sales and Marketing manager in one of the service industry business that allows me to have at least four to five hours sleep everyday for the last 8 years. I then include my sons condition in my daily prayer, however, it came to a point that i asked myself and even laughed at myself on why should I pray for any of those diseases instead  of praying that nothing should be in any of those two. But logic came out to my mind that i cannot changed the fact that my son underwent pain and being confined in the hospital. Against my will and feelings i then started praying that the result of the biopsy will only be Milliary TB, and with GODs mercy    the result then favored to TB which is curable and right now he is then on his fourth month of medication and he's now physically recovered and gained back his weight which was suddenly drop by almost 8 kilos that time.

My special Child Reignheart is very charming and a lovable child that not a single day he failed to say I LOVE YOU PAPA!
