I need some prayers for my 25yr old daughter, she has had some bloods tests come back with high cancer markers. I will admit, I am not sure what this mean. But I am suspicious, it means she has cancer. Please pray that we find the cancer and we can treat it. big hugs and god bless all of you that pray for my baby girl.

Dear Alice, I am so very sorry to read this post. I hope from the bottom of my heart that your daughter will be fine. I think you need to find out exactly what this means. Sending love Sarah.

OMG alice my heart just sank! I pray it is not cancer. I can empathize with you. I will keep sending good thughts. christine

You got it Alice ! I will keep her in my daily thoughts ... Jo

As a 7 yr. breast cancer survivor I can tell you that cancer markers are iffy. Almost anything can cause them to be high...an infection, a head cold, even stress.
However, it is a good idea to have other tests as well to see what is going on.
Prayers and well wishes.

You will be in my prayers

I hope it is a false alarm. It trusts god!

ANY UPDATE????????

I hope they don't actually find anything but an excuse for the high reading, other than cancer, of course. Any news, Alice?

Any tiem - any of hear the C word we all jump to conclusions - wait until they can say more. I will be praying for you and your daughter. It is such a hard time of year - to anything that isn't pleasant and cheery - isn't it.

have you heard anymore. My prayers are with you.

Alice, keeping you daughter in prayer. Just a note, this doesn't necessarily mean cancer, but hopefully they will find out what is causing this to show up as high cancer markers. I was 24 and 6 mos. pregnant when they discovered I had cancer and that was 35. :) Chin up... hugs,

Alice, I will be praying for you and your daughter.
Hugs, Judy

That is hard to deal with, when your baby is given news of that caliber. I hope it is a false alarm, but that she continues to be vigilant with her health.
My 22 year old daughter has been diagnosed with cancer, but refuses to go to the doctor for treatment. She has known for almost a year, but has ignored the letters and phone calls from the doctor's office, and when they corner her, she makes an appointment but then calls back and cancels. She was just recently married and doesn't want to be "sick".
So I totally understand what you are going through at the moment. I hope your daughter can handle this without falling apart or the opposite extreme, intense denial! Good luck, and we'll send prayers your way!!!

How awful for you to see this happen. They do say that some cancers are over-treated, so can only hope hers is one that is not currently needing other than watching. If head-in-the-sand is her way, I don't suppose there's much you can do about it. It's probably pretty scary for her too.

OMG, I have a 24 year old daughter who has medical issues, nothing like this. Thoughts and prayers to you, try not to worry, the big C is becoming more managable.

Alice, be positive, maybe is not, do not worry before the results, but if the results are not good, she has a ggod chance to fight back this desease, I wonder when are they going to find a 100% cure for this evil desease. Prying for all of you God bless you.

Alice, you and yours are in my thoughts...hugs sally

I am praying for you right now and for her! May the Dear Lord bring you healing and His precious peace as you go through the days ahead. Keep your eyes on Jesus and His great healing power! Know that prayer works and God has a special plan for us all! God bless you both and keep you safe in the hollow of His hand! Sending you hugs through the optic fibers of the internet!

My prayers are with both you and your daughter that she doesn't have cancer.

I had similar 'markers' but thankfully in my case it was not cancer. It turned out to be an autoimmune disorder that is difficult at times but controllable.

Know that your Cute family is with you during this difficult time.

Be assured of my prayers in her behalf....and yours. I'm sending you both a great big hug. May you feel God's comfort and peace.

I have added her to my prayer list. Try and stay positive. Hugs, Mary

Will add your daughter to my pray list.

Hoping for a good outcome from this. I know it is hard Alice but don't dwell on it, wait till they know for sure. It may not be anything so don't worry yourself sick over it. You have to be positive and live in the moment. Trust me, I know!

Found this: (copied for you)Patients with a high cancer marker reading aren't always diagnosed with cancer. Other disease processes can elevate cancer markers. Although different cancers can produce different cancer markers, no one cancer marker is specific for a certain type of cancer.

Will be praying for a good outcome for your daughter.

I know it is easier said, than done, Alice, but try not to worry now. To my understanding, "high cancer markers" in blood tests, usually indicates potential for cancer developing, but what is currently considered a pre-cancerous stage. Perhaps, this is the case with your daughter. My best friend's daughter, now age 30, had tests five years ago that showed her having pre-cancerous cells of the cervix, and cancer markers had been indicated in the blood tests,as well. She still has her annual checkups and all is fine. Vigilance in regular checkups is important. My prayers will be ongoing for your daughter!
Hugs,
Angel

not so good news you are in my prayers.Maria

You absolutely have my prayers. That's a scary thing to hear. Please keep us updated.
