If

Many are wondering, Is Ronnie and Melody going hold out that strong?  are they going to endure the pain and trials? 

I know many times i Have wanted to Question GOD WHY?????  why my son?

To Endure = suffer patiently; to bear without resistance or with patience...  So when many are praying for a miracle, i don't think Endurance would be involved...  This Cancer is something will have to endure, have patience for... Why Does'nt God Just heal him right now?  In some ways he has already done marvelous works in Elijah...
1 Peter 2:20 Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.



If we cannot endure these hard trials, how can we endure all things?  This Cancer was NOT from God to teach any kind of lessons, but since this came on, we are to turn to the Lord in time of troubling, and stress, and doubt, and he will comfort... God comforts a mothers weeping heart over her child. I know God sees our problem, I know he is able to heal.  But I feel, while praising him through the midst of this Tornado of the storm, he is saying "HOLD ON a little Longer my dear child" "For My Glory is being shown, and many lives will be changed"  From here on out is a divine appointment from the Lord bringing those who believe and those who Dont believe together to show that HE IS GOD.... and he is real, and to change the hearts of both, and of many...

Elijah was named after a prophet, Elijah will be one as well, he is called to have the spirit of Elijah, and Elijah will ENDURE all things!!  For this boy is called to do greater things than what our fleshly eyes cannot see...  Elijah will change lives, and he already is changing some...  Elijah is under the Favor of the LORD, and he is under the shadow of His wing, being protected.

If we can all learn what true endurance really was, we would be able to conquer all of the enemies plans, deciets, faults, lies and trials that is thrown our way!!

God Stopped the duplicationg of the mutant Gene from copying itself so ther is only one DNA (Gene) , and the cancer stopped spreading...   Also after 3 months with chemo, God Has cleared Elijahs Tumors out from his bone marrow, when he was diagnosed he was 90% covered from head to toe, and now has nothing!!

To answer your questions?   NO we have not faultered, have not fallen, and will NEVER Question GOD through these times of serious life issue dificulties,  GOD IS LOVE< AND HIS LOVES ENDURES FOREVER.. He will reign On high, for I lift his name on high, and Praise him through the storm, for he is Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Ra'ah Jehovah Nissi, and Shalom, and Jirah!!!!

Agree with me today... GOD IS IN CONTROL.... not me!

Jesus heals!

ELIJAH MAINVILLE

Elijah Mainville 3 years old was Diagnosed with neuroblastoma November 5th 2010, Cancerous tumors, located in his skull at the top of his head, and in his lymph nodes on the left side of his neck... He is also covered in tumors from Head to Toe in his Bone marrow, 90% covered.

My baby Boy Is my Love of my Life...  We were totally heartbroken about this.  We believe there is a GOD, and that he is bigger than cancer!

God saw the Sin against Him in this world, And he was Sad!  He Sent his Son Jesus Christ as a Human Sacrafice, to die on the cross.  The Blood That was shed on the cross was specifically for Our Pain, Our Hurts and for Cancer...  each stripe on his back was to Heal from every uncurable disease!  So when This Happened, He had healed all sicknesses and diseases.  IT WAS ALREADY DONE!  So therefore, I will go beyond just praying for my son, but Believe and Speak LIFE into Elijah..  For the words that come out of our mouth causes Life or death...  I believe, confess and Have faith for the total healing and miracle for the Life of my son...

 His days are NOT numbered, even though we will hear the doctors speak that he is at stage 4 cancer, and it's at it's worst, and we will be having to do intesive treatments, I still believe in The Blood of Jesus Christ  which is our hope and our Future (Jeremaiah 29:11)  Elija will be a testimony for the GLORY of GOD... and many will be saved and have hope because they see a miracle standing in front of them!!!!  This is What I see In the Spirit realm...  Jesus Came to bring LIFE... anything else is not from Jesus or God..

God did not put this on Elijah, God Is not trying to teach us any lesson.  But in the midst Of trials and hardships, God Is here to help us through, it is Because of Sin, Sin brought Death into this world...  NOT GOD!!!

I encourage you today, that if you do not have Christ in your heart, you should.. WHY> because He is your only HOPE!!!!!  No doctor or friend or family member can give you joy through trials, such as CANCER....

MY 3 YEAR OLD IS HEALED....   if you would like Prayer or more questions on how to become saved from eternal death, but have eternal life, and would like prayer for hope in your life... email me at sweetmelodiesphotography@yahoo.com ...  Because CANCER WILL BOW DOWN TO JESUS!! for he is GOD... AMEN...

thank you everyone for your Love and Support..

WHAT IS NEUROBLASTOMA???

Neuroblastoma

 

What is neuroblastoma?

Neuroblastoma is a cancerous tumor that begins in nerve tissue of infants and very young children. The abnormal cells are often found in the nerve tissue that is present in the unborn baby and later develops into a detectable tumor. Neuroblastoma is rare in children older than 10 years of age, however, it does occur occasionally in adults.

The tumor usually begins in the tissues of the adrenal gland found in the abdomen, but may also begin in nerve tissue in the neck, chest, and/or pelvis. The adrenal glands are positioned on top of the kidneys. These glands secrete hormones and other important substances that are required for normal functions in the body.

In the US, approximately 650 children are diagnosed with neuroblastoma each year. It is often present at birth, but not detected until the tumor begins to grow and compress the surrounding organs. Most children affected by neuroblastoma have been diagnosed before the age of 5. In rare cases, neuroblastoma can be detected before birth by a fetal ultrasound. It is the most common solid tumor cancer in infants.

Neuroblastoma cancer cells can spread (metastasize) quickly to other areas of the body (i.e., lymph nodes, liver, lungs, bones, central nervous system, and bone marrow). Approximately 70 percent of all children diagnosed with neuroblastoma will have some metastatic disease.

What causes neuroblastoma?

The only risk factor that has been established for neuroblastoma is heredity, although the vast majority of neuroblastomas are not inherited. Recent research indicates that a common genetic variation on chromosome 6p doubles the risk of this disease. Also, having this particular variation increases the chance that a child will develop a more aggressive form of the disease.

The average age at diagnosis in genetically linked cases is around nine months. When the cancer presents in several different areas of the body at once, this suggests it may be a genetically inherited cancer.

What are the symptoms of neuroblastoma?

The following are the most common symptoms of neuroblastoma. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. The symptoms of neuroblastoma vary greatly depending on size, location, and spread of the tumor. Symptoms may include:

• abdominal mass, either felt during an examination or seen as swollen abdomen
• tumors in the face or head can cause swelling and bruising of the area around the eyes and uncontrolled eye movement
• compression of kidney or bladder by the tumor may cause changes in urination
• bone marrow involvement may present as pain, limping, paralysis, or weakness
• diarrhea may be present; diarrhea is caused by a substance produced by the tumor (vasoactive intestinal peptide, or VIP)
• fever
• high blood pressure and increased heart rate may occur depending on location of tumor and the organs the tumor compresses

The symptoms of neuroblastoma may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.

How is neuroblastoma diagnosed?

In addition to a complete medical and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for neuroblastoma may include the following:

• blood and urine tests - including a complete blood count, blood chemistries, kidney and liver function tests, and a urinalysis.
• multiple imaging studies - to evaluate primary tumor and determine extent/location of any metastases, including:
• computed tomography scan (Also called a CT or CAT scan.) - a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays.
• magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
• x-ray - a diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
• ultrasound (Also called sonography.) - a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs as they function, and to assess blood flow through various vessels.
• bone scans - pictures or x-rays taken of the bone after a dye has been injected that is absorbed by bone tissue. These are used to detect tumors and bone abnormalities.
• bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy - a procedure that involves taking a small amount of bone marrow fluid (aspiration) and/or solid bone marrow tissue (called a core biopsy), usually from the hip bones, to be examined for the number, size, and maturity of blood cells and/or abnormal cells.
• biopsy of primary tumor and/or metastatic lesions

Diagnosing neuroblastoma also involves staging and classifying the disease which determines treatment options and prognosis. Staging is the process of determining whether cancer has spread and, if so, how far. There are various staging systems that can be used for neuroblastoma. Always consult your child's physician for information on staging. One method of staging neuroblastoma is the following:

• stage 1 - involves a tumor that does not cross the midline of the body, is completely resectable (removable by surgery), and has not spread to other areas of the body. The lymph nodes on the same side of the body as the tumor do not have cancer cells present.
• stage 2A - involves a tumor that does not cross the midline of the body, but is not completely resectable. This stage of tumor has not spread to other areas of the body, and lymph nodes on the same side as the tumor do not have tumor cells present.
• stage 2B - involves a tumor that may or may not be completely resectable, has not spread to other areas of the body, but lymph nodes on the same side of the tumor have tumor cells present. Lymph nodes on the opposite side of the tumor must be negative for tumor cells in this stage of disease.
• stage 3 - involves a tumor that crosses the midline of the body and is not completely resectable. This stage also includes a tumor that does not cross the midline, but the lymph nodes on the opposite side also contain tumor cells.
• stage 4 - involves a tumor that has metastasized to distant lymph nodes, bone marrow, liver, skin, and/or other organs (except as defined in stage 4S).
• stage 4S - a child is younger than 12 months and has a tumor that may have metastasized (spread) to liver, skin, and/or bone marrow (includes minimal bone marrow involvement; more extensive bone marrow involvement should be classified as stage 4). The tumor is on one side of the body and is localized. It may have spread to the lymph nodes on the same side of the body. 

Treatment for neuroblastoma:

Specific treatment for neuroblastoma will be determined by your child's physician based on:

• your child's age, overall health, and medical history
• extent of the disease
• your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
• expectations for the course of the disease
• your opinion or preference

Treatment may include (alone or in combination):

• surgery (for tumor and/or metastatic resection, and removal of lymph nodes involved)
• chemotherapy
• radiation therapy
• bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
• retinoid therapy
• supportive care (for the side effects of treatment)
• antibiotics (to prevent/treat infections)
• continuous follow-up care (to determine response to treatment, recurrent disease, and late effects of treatment)

Treatment options should be discussed with your child's physician.

Long-term outlook for a child with neuroblastoma:

Prognosis greatly depends on:

• the extent of the disease.
• the size and location of the tumor.
• a presence or absence of metastasis.
• the tumor's response to therapy.
• the age and overall health of your child.
• your child's tolerance of specific medications, procedures, or therapies.
• new developments in treatment.

As with any cancer, prognosis and long-term survival can vary greatly from individual to individual. Prompt medical attention and aggressive therapy are important for the best prognosis. Continuous follow-up care is essential for a child diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, as well as recurrence of the disease, can occur in survivors of neuroblastoma. New methods are continually being discovered to improve treatment and to decrease side effects.
