MIL got diagnoised 2 weeks ago with breast cancer caught early and she had surgery tues and is doing fine,think it was way early and will not be a problem.
Friday nite wife gets a call one of her best friends she work with for 30 yrs was admitted to the hospital and is ate up with cancer,by monday is on a ventilator and as of tonight they will be taking it off,she will not last long…wow what an emotional roller coaster we have been on.
Not one to run from things but i will admit i want to just go crawl under a rock for awhile .
God bless you brother. I watched my wife’s little sister die of cancer at the age of sixteen. My wife then fought it for ten years and I am glad to say we are two years cancer free. Love them. That’s all you can do.
Besides losing many family members and friends to cancer…I also worked as a oncology nurse for fifteen years. What a devastating disease…not only for the patient…but for the family and friends who have to watch them suffer through the disease and the treatments. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
Only cancer for my overseas family was pancreatic at age 94. Here in good old S.C.and Georgia Cancer seems to run rampant with family and friends. My niece was only married for 1/2 year when her husband was diagnosed with Cancer at age 24 after four years of fighting it he’s got to have a bone marrow transplant again and not looking good.
My longest friend was operated on today for breast cancer. Won’t know pathology until next week. We are praying the margins are clear and she won’t have to have more surgery. She is at Duke.
Dear Lord be with all these folks that have cancer, give their loved ones the strength and courage to stand with them and be their for them in their time of need. I speak with past and current experience, Trust in the Lord and have faith for thru him all things are possible. God Bless and you all, you will be in my prayers, please do the same for me.
In any case, I don’t want to derail this thread, but wanted to at least make my final post on the subject an appology to all for the tone of my post and personal attack. The way I read it pushed a button and I immediately replied without thinking it through. I don’t like seeing stuff like that on here and wound up doing it myself.
Quite frankly, it’s embarrasing to read now. I will delete it if I can.
There ain’t nothing that kicks the wind out of you like hearing “you have cancer” or hearing a loved one tell you the first time “I have cancer”. I remember both occassions like it was yesterday.
The more we just complain…the more things stay the same.
Just imagine going in with a bad heart problem that came unexpectedly and then being told they can take care of that, but blood tests show you have C as well. At least the heart issue kept me calm enough at the time, but (**()!, will find out soon how bad.
