Bad News From Doctor
Permalink  
 

Well, we found out my wife does have breast cancer today and tomorrow we find out what stage it is.  The Doctor feels the prognosis is very good, but that she will require surgery and chemo and possibly radiation.  We should know more tomorrow afternoon.  We are both doing pretty well with it, her because she is tough and strong and me because I really do have faith in my HP/God (even in the bad times) I do not know where she gets her inner strength.  She believes in God and goes to church regularly, but I am not sure she "feels" God in her daily life. She has expressed not "feeling" God in her life, but I am wondering if that is because she is such a naturally good person that she is already close to God, where as I am such a son of a bitch that coming to God was a great awakening. Anyhow, please keep her in your prayers, she is the light of my life.
Tom

Prayers continue along with a suggestion to HP to allow her to hear from HP as I have
been allowed.  Hope she listens with her eyes and her ears and entire spirit.  In
support of you Tom...(((hugs)))

hi hon,
our HP/God is not a feeling, but a fact.... but we always want to be feeling something, eh?
i am glad the Dr has a positive prognosis. that is the good news. the other good news is you and your wife have each other and this time to support her in a new way, and for you both to grow. positive thinking, positive actions, and one day at a time, Tom, you know the drill.
big hugs
xxxooo

Thanks all. It seems the news is worse. The cancer is "triple negative" which means it does not respond to 3 other receptors, in other words, there are three less weapons in the armory. We are now limited to surgery, chemo and radiation. It was an up and down day.

My friend went through a long passage with it and shared how important it was for her that she did her own research and homework and advocated for herself throughout all the treatment and with all the practitioners involved. She is cancer-free now and has radically changed her diet/nutrition...for her, that life-style change was a huge part of the healing and maintaining. Prayers for both of you.

Tom,

I have not been on line the last couple of days so I just read this.

My prayers for your wife and for you!!  Your post "I really do have faith in my HP/God (even in the bad times)" speaks volumes and I sure identify with that.


Larry,

In support and prayer Tom for both of you!!We have accepted a Power greater than ourselves" as literature asks us" do we now believe or even willing to believe that a power greater than ourselves exists and when we do or even willing we have formed a cornerstone to  a strong spiritual foundation.The only guidelines are that that power be loving and caring and greater than we are...Trust in that power Tom especially in the "tough" times.In support and prayer..Let us know how it is moving forward.I pray your wife finds solace and strength in the God of her understanding.....

Tom, your wife is very much in my prayers today. I am sorry to hear of this, and I hope that you two will be able to remain close and work through this as God heals her and makes her well. I can't imagine what either of you are going through, but I know it must be very hard. I am so glad to know that you both have God leading both your individual lives and your life together. That is sometimes half the battle, and in that you both have a great foundation where you can handle anything with his help.

Please know that your friends here stand by you both right now, as always. Keep us posted and we will keep the prayers going up.
