Wife..Lump in breast..Prayers
Permalink  
 

Hey All,
A lump has formed in my wife's breast and has put a cloud in front of our lives until it is diagnosed.  From what the doctor has said, and my research, there are so many chances that it is benign, and even if cancerous, at this early stage, not a large threat.  You can tell yourself all this over and over, but the cloud remains until it is examined.  It is so small, she (and I agree) to just have the lump removed then examined so as to do 2 things at once instead of doing a biopsy and then having to remove the lump. We will find out Monday when the surgery will be scheduled, and then we will know a date for the answer to the question we dread to ask: is it cancerous.  Sooooooo, I could not think of a better place to ask for prayers-- the kind that come from people who strive for communion with their HP on a daily basis and have seen the power of miracles.  My wife is a genuine Saint and probly has all the protections she needs, but prayers never hurt.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ heal her. I pray that He removes all traces of any disease in her because she is a child of God. His will for us to be healthy, free and joyous. I pray that joy returns your home.
Trust Him and he will definitely heal.
God bless,
Gonee.

Hi Dear Friend,

Wow all those words sounded so familiar, I am a Veteran of same for almost 20 years now....

"Three out of four is going to be benign" I heard that many times, but the very good news is just like your dear wife, I had the same diagnosis, when I turned out to be the one in four that are not benign....and in the early stages that is the Good news, no matter how it turns out...

So Tom if you want to, send me a PM, and I will give you my email number so maybe I could write to you or directly to your wife about my own experience.....you mentioned research, and have to say that is the road I took, I got my hands on every piece of literature I could, read every book on the subject,  and discovered that filling our heads with the needed information was slowly but surely dispelling all the fears. and it worked.

Mine was discovered by sheer accident,  sort of I look back on that whole experience as, yes I had a form of Breast Cancer, but that never registers in my brain, the process I went through and it was a long process,  I just have always considered myself One Lucky Duck on the subject.....

Of course offering Prayer for her, and for you too.

PS. As far as watching Anchorman, I have had an obession with the movie Michael Clayton,  for some strange reason I have hooked on the movie, one of my favorite all time films, and I was thinking after you wrote that, why I am so facinated with that movie, I think cause it has that one man slaying the big monster, like the end of Star Wars.....so Michael Clayton turns out to be Luke Skywalker....funny, but have watched it about 15 times, and I never ever watch movies more that twice, tops.  

Hugs to you and your Dear wife along with lots of Prayers going up..

Toni

 PS, wanted to come back and say that Recovery was just around the corner, however, I knew intuitively, I said everyday, first thing, Dear God, please stay close, and He never failed me then either....

Hey All,
Thanks, I knew we here on MIP could count on each other! Toni, I will ask my wife if she wants to chat, but I am sure she will just wait for the diagnosis, but thanks sincerly and we may get in touch with you. This is a special place.
Tom

Tom, many prayers going out from me too. It is indeed frightening, no matter what the "odds" look like. That your wife has a sober husband to help her cope with the ordeal is an absolute miracle and a blessing. This program has given you the opportunity to be fully and wholly there for her, as she deserves. What a great gift!

Please do keep us posted, and I will keep right on praying for her good health!

Joni

What Joni says is very true.

I vividly remember having to go in for a repeat mammogram for something that looked suspicious. I was scared to death, because my mom died of breast cancer. My second husband (the one who went back to drinking) was too drunk to go to the appointment with me. I felt more alone than if I'd been in no relationship at all.

With you sober and there to support her, the two of you can get through anything.

Tom,

I am so sorry you are going through this. This type of thing I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. As you are finding out the waiting can drive a person insane.

My ex-wife was diagnose with breast cancer in 2000. I was six years sober and while I never thought of drinking... my mind constantly raced into the future and even into the past wishing our time together would have been more like a romantic TV show.

When the news came out that she did have cancer and would have to have surgery as soon as possible... I was lost. She ended up having four surgeries in 17 days... it was crazy and I was emotionally drained by the end.

But the one thing through it all that I gave thanks for was my sobriety. As much uncertainty and fear that I was going through... I didn't add to a stressful situation by drinking. I just can't imagine how chaotic it would have been if I was drinking.

Those early days I did a lot of praying and not only leaned on my HP but others as well... people were ready to help... all I had to do was ask.

Oh gosh Tom, how I wish you weren't going through this uncertainty...

You and your wife will be in my thoughts and prayers,
Dave

Thanks again Brothers and Sisters!
Yes, the waiting is maddening. She goes to the Dr. tomorrow to make an appointment for the procedure. I will be able to make whatever time is needed for anything she needs. I could not think of drinking right now! The sincerity of your posts is in keeping with the character I have come to know you all have.
Thanks,
Tom
