Helen, NC

URGENT!!!
Received via email on 4/20/08 from Ashley:

"I wanted to put in a prayer request for my Aunt Helen. She went the doctor a couple months ago and they found several fractures in her back and her ribs. So, they put cement in her back because her spinal cord was collapsing. She was originally 5'9" and she is now less than 5 feet tall. They thought it was osteoporosis but, now they are not sure because of the MRI they did on her april 14th. It showed three more broke vertebrates in her lower back and a tumor growing on the bone in her right arm. She is showing all signs of melanoma cancer. She is going tomorrow (4-21-08) for a biopsy to find out if the tumor is malignant or benign. She is in severe pain at all times and no pain medication is helping. She can't stand it when you touch her and she can't walk by herself or really do anything by herself. Please be in prayer for her and our family. We would really appreciate it.
