                      | Beth, please don't be so hard on yourself. There was no way you could have known. I will be praying for Brandon and the whole family. Please let us know how things turn out. God bless you all. |

                      Beth, I just saw this, and my heart dropped for you and Brandon.  I hope and pray he will be fine... and also that you'll know the biopsy results quickly. XO, Ann

                      Hello all you wonderful farmgals- Your concern and prayers have been overwhelming.  Yesterday went well and all looks good.  They are going to schedule surgery for next week to remove it all.  they also found some cysts but I guess that is ok.  He is nervous about a big incision but all will be ok.  
  I cannot stress enough to you all to talk to your boys about this.  It is not something they should keep to themselves.  Early treatment is so important.  The burden of carrying this alone is more than any young man should have to handle.  And with the internet, they can do research and think the worst.
  I will let you know as soon as the biopsy results come in. thanks again for all your support.  You are an amazing bunch of ladies!

                      I agree. My dad had a talk with my fiance about stuff like that, as my dad is a prostate cancer survivor. Everyone should talk to their kids about this stuff, male and female. 
  Better to know and get it taken care of immediately, than to not know and have the worst happen. We've come so far in this day and age with treatments. 
  I am SO GLAD that things are looking up!
  (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))
  Blessed Be!

                      Beth, just saw this thread for the first time......what an emotional roller coaster to read!  I was SO happy to read the good news.  Still, am saying a healing prayer for you & your DS. And do NOT get down on yourself about this!  Please keep us posted, & give your DS a  big, BIG hug for all of us. :)

                      I appreciate everone's kind words to me.  I am not beating myself up over this, I can only go from when I knew about it.  I am very broken up over the fact that he had this sadness in his heart for so long and I could not help him.  He truely thought he was going to die for the last year +. That part breaks my heart.  I feel very out of focus these days.  i am extrememly forgetfull of things I need to get done outside of this and have neglected some important things.  And the waiting game is killing me.
  I must say the power of all your prayers has helped us both.   
  This is Brandon and his little brother Quin. Update- surgery is set for March 23rd

                      Well, let me say that I am sure Brandon will be breaking many female hearts in the future.  He and Quin are both wonderful looking young men. Please keep us posted. MJ

                      Beth, I'm so glad that things are looking hopeful. I can totally understand why Brandon would be unable to voice his fears and I hope sharing the burden has given him some peace. Please do keep us posted and I'll be praying for him and your family.

                      Beth, both your boys are gorgeous; great picture!  Most boys wouldn't talk about their fears, especially about such a potentially embarrassing body area as this.  I'm thinking about my brothers when we were kids... and 2 out of 3 would have kept very quiet.  The third would have said ANYTHING! Ann

                      Great looking boys Beth. I have 2 teenage sons and after reading your post I sat both of them down and let them read it to. I explained to them how important it is to tell me when something is bothering them and that they can tell me anything. Your story has made an impact on my 14 and 15 year old sons. Thank you for that. I will be keeping Brandon and your family in my prayers until all this passes.

                      Joyous news- the mass that they tested is from an injury, probably football.  which caused a hydrocele to form.  I saw that mentioned before.  So we are going to have the hydrocele drained, then fixed, the small mass and cysts removed and be good to go.  Your prayers have been truly answered and i cannot thank you all enough for your support.  This whole experience has brought us closer as a family and opened up the lines of communication even more.  I will let you all know how surgery goes on the 23rd.

                      Oh Beth! I just breathed a hugh sigh of relief for you! I layed awake for a long time last night thinking and praying about you. I am so glad that it is somewhat good news.  Keep us posted and let Brandon know we are still praying for him.
