Deidre Henderson Sinclair Yesterday at 1:32am · Hello everyone I wanted to ask a simple thing of you all and that is to copy/paste or share this post on your pages to get it to as many prayer warriors as possible all across the world. Thank you so much! Our son,Darien Sinclair (5years old) started to complain of severe leg pain about 3 weeks ago and I took him to the ER, they did blood work and saw that some of his levels were low but sent us home anyway saying that it would pass in a few days. It didnt, it got worse, so next I took him to his pediatric center, the doctor there barely looked him over and told me that it was just a virus that causes muscle pain and it should pass in a few weeks. Well it didnt pass, the pain got even worse in just a few days and he started limping and couldnt walk or climb stairs. So i took him right back the third time and I refused to leave without answers!! On this third visit the doctor ordered blood work immediately and then xrays the next morning. The blood work again showed levels lower than normal and she compared them to the ER bloodwork and said that the drop was so drastic in those few days that she suspected Leukemia and sent us to the cancer center for testing on Friday 9/5/14. This is day 5 of what seems like a never-ending nightmare. Day 1- 9/5/14 First visit to the UNC Chapel Hill Cancer Center. This day consisted of Blood work, a urine sample and a bone marrow biopsy along with a few other tests. After hours of waiting we were told that Darien had cancer but that it was not leukemia and that more tests were needed to determine the type. A special dye was needed for these next testa. He was prescribed a high strength of pain medicine to take every 4 hours for the severe pain he has and we would have to wait until Day 5 for more testing because they needed the special dye. Day 2 and 3- we were waiting on the shipment of dye from Canada and controlling the pain as best we could with the medicine. It doesnt make it go away but it helps enough to calm him down for periods of time. Day 4- we were rushed to the ER by ambulance with a fever of 102.5 that is constant. We were released and told that the Cancer Center doctor would follow up with us the next day when we returned. So we are controlling that with a fever reducer to keep it as low as possible at all times. Day 5- we were told that the type of cancer is Neuroblastoma and the severe pain and fever were a result of that but until the test are done with the dye the location and several other factors are still unknown. He was given morphine for pain and the dye was injected and is supposed to circulate throughout his body tonight and be ready for the scan and some other testing first thing tomorrow morning. So here we are, waiting for day 6. I know that there are a multitude of people sending prayers and organizing functions to assist us and we cant thank you enough, we ask that you continue to pray with us without ceasing. This is a very tough time and Im trying to give everyone answers that asks for information as much as I can. If it takes me a while to get back to you please forgive me, we have a lot going on. I will make sure that I get back to every single one of you as soon as I can. Once again, thank you all for the prayers and concern and everything that you all are doing to help us! If you all would share this post on your time line so that it reaches other prayer warriors all over the world that would be awesome. I know that prayer changes things!
