Kati is 25 yrs old, and 17 weeks pregnant.  She              was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of lymphoma that the doctors say              will kill the baby--and her if she refuses treatment because of the              baby.  
              
              
              Kati was admitted to the hospital on Sunday night              and is awaiting the results of a biopsy (today or tomorrow) taken on tissue from              lymph nodes in her neck.  They also found a large mass above her heart (3" by              7"!!).  She has been very, very short of breath for about 3 weeks (she had to              take breaks opening her gifts at her bridal shower on Sunday).  She's not been              well for quite a while, and had been doctoring for a few weeks.  She is on              oxygen and can only breathe, if that's what you call it, if she sits straight              up.  
              
              
              She has already said that if it is cancer, which              seems likely, that she will not have treatment because of the baby.  The doctors              are basically telling her that without her, there is no baby.  If the lymph nodes in her neck keep getting bigger, and the mass              near her heart keeps growing, she won't be around long.  She will die of              suffocation.
              
              
              I am asking for MAJOR prayers for her.  Please              pray for a complete cure.  
              
              Thanks.
              
              Bill.
