Life changes when it wants to, we change when we can.

I hope your wife does well, sir!

Snowdog, a few years back the wife had a scare that eventually turned out for the good. But, I know I felt totally helpless and useless. There was nothing I could do but sit with her and wait for the numerous test results. Having to watch a loved one go through an ordeal like this can be extremely stressful. I’m glad that things appear to be moving in a positive direction. There are others like you out here, if only to lend a willing ear.

We’ll pray her recovery goes well.

I hope all goes well.. and you are right, we often forget the agony the “other” goes through as he/she tries to support the one going through the actual situation.
Best wishes to all the family and friends

I have a friend that went through the re constructive surgery and both she and her husband were very happy with the results. I’m confident that this will also be the case for you. God bless. -SST

I can tell from being the person with the cancer, that the support you can give your wife is worth more than any care the doctors can give.
Hang in there!
I’m not sure where you live but there are a number of support groups for the caregivers. I live in the Seattle area and we have a organization here called Cancer Lifeline, www.cancerlifeline.org if you go there you will find links to groups in your area.
Are prayers are with you.

I’m brand new here and I have limited-at-best WW skills, so not much WW to share. However, I do have my own life experiences.

My darlin’ wife went in for a “fairly routine” 2-hour cancer operation. Not your wife’s problem, but bad. When she came out 7 hours later the first thing the doctor said was “We can’t save your wife. She’s got less than sixty days to live.”

I can assure you, that will get your attention and ruin your day. However, that was in April … 1996. She completed her annual check-up last week and, as every time before, no recurrance or other problems of any kind. CA-125 = 18. You (or better yet, your wife) can call or write any day if you’d like. I happen to be overseas right now but I’m pretty sure she’s in the garden about now, which is where I should be (or in the shop) and will be when I get home and re-retire.

I need no reassurance about whether said deity exists.

Truly, it’s all good. PM if you’d like.

I just had a big hunk of my face removed from melanoma. It is a scary thing and then again it really puts things in perspective for you and brings you back where you belong. It reminds you that the house doesn’t matter, the 2 vehicles don’t matter, tools and all the toys, the quad, the gear all that, the boat. None of it matters. What matters is my wife, my kids, my grandkids, my brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews and their kids, most of all my diety matters to me again. I am closer to God then I’ve ever been in my life,and my wife and kids, I’ll tell you what 8 days in the hospital gives you more time to think than you need. But it sure opened my eyes. Or should I say slapped me in the face. God be with your wife, you both are in my thoughts and prayers, I for one, know what you two are going through. God Bless you both. mikr

It has been 8 days since the surgery and all things are looking well. She is in a little pain from the stitches but compared to last year this is pretty easy. The one drain (last year it was 3 drains so this is much easier) was pulled last week and as I said all things look good and she is in good spirits from being on the other side of it all.

Thanks you all for your kinds words, thought and prays. A few more weeks and I’ll have her washing the floors <giggle>, yeah right .. more like she will have me washing them :)

Ya gotta love good news. Good for you and good for her.
