“The power of prayer is amazing!” she posted. “As of this morning, Eddie was scheduled for surgery tonight. They said his first biopsy didn’t have enough tissue to determine the exact kind of lymphoma. This would’ve pushed back his diagnoses/treatment and would’ve meant more time in the hospital.
“Only four hours after he announced his cancer (and you all responded with beautiful words and prayer),” Kristen continued, “the doctor came in and said he no longer needed surgery! They were able to diagnose him using the sample they already had. Great news! And he officially has Hodgkins Lymphoma, which is very treatable. He’s going home today and will start chemotherapy on Monday.”
