Wish everything goes well my dear. As for fights I can make as many as you like in the Cyprob sub forum, if that will make you smile a little. As soon as you give us some happy news i.e, as currently I lost my "kefi" :cry: :cry:



It is going ok considering I guess. They are still run a bunch of tests trying to make a definite decision how to go by getting it out. It is called Wilms tumor and it is common in kids her age. It is not easy to catch early because it is painless. Eleni is still acting like her usual self, even though last night they sedated her to get an MRI and the meds made her aggressive and hateful. Today after she slept it off she is fine. They are concerned about it pressuring a vein so they might have to shrink it first and then operate. We will know for sure today. It is pretty bit. It is 8cmx4x4, but it is around the size they usually see these. The hospital here is achildren's one and they seem to do a lot of these and I guess I need to trust them, but for some reason I feel a bit skeptical at times. I will let you know more as I find them out, as it seems I need to get it out of my chest. Sorry if I bored you guys :mrgreen:

This is definately not boring Andri, everyone is very concerned for you and Eleni. As this is common they will be used to treating the tumour. You have to keep postitive.

Please do keep us posted when you can.

Best wishes

I agree with Niki Andri mou, the whole issue, you or your daughter never bored us. Eleni brought to all humans feeling…and some tears may be…But she teaches us with her attitude what the human strength means and she is only 5!

Eleni has the same name with me and she is just one year younger than by brother…I am really touched from all that and from what you are being through…I wish we could do something for her and you… Be strong Andri… she show to all of us that she is not just an angel but brave enough to handle this situation… you must be proud for your angel Andri. Both of you are in our prayers and thoughts…Thank you for letting us know about her health and you…

Best wishes…

No you are not boring us at all dear Andri. On the contrary I feel a bit embarassed for my rather indiscriminate questions, but you know I am a little cypriot.... peasant. :lol:

Courage to you and your husband and the rest of your family, Panayia will help you 'll see.

It is on her right kidney, and she will have to lose that kidney. Her pediatrician discovered it by examining her abdomen when we went for her 5 year old checkup so she can get her 5 year old shot, to register for school. There are no symptoms, until it get big enough for a parent or a doctor to feel while maybe getting her dressed or routine checkups.

Dear Andri,

If it gives you some releif to talk to us feel free to do it. I mean we might be images behind a computer but we are still humans. I made some search on the internet about it 95%+ of the patients pass the 4 year critical period. OK I know it is a dreadful disease anyway and the poor child has to undrergo further treatment but I quote from you

"Fear less, hope more;
Whine less, breathe more;
Talk less, say more;
Hate less, love more;
And all good things are yours."
