After an MRI yesterday, the doctor called and moved my wife’s appointment up from this afternoon to this morning. She and I just sat out in the rain and talked about the results.
The increasing pain she’s been feeling from her back down her leg is not from a nerve but instead a tumor on her spine that has already done significant damage. They fear it’s moved from elsewhere and are now urging an immediate program to track down it’s source. We’ll start Monday and they expect her to be in surgery by midweek.
I fear yesterday was our last good day for awhile. Just last week we had decided to try and have another child. Now it’s hard to see or think about anything beyond a week.
Prayers or best wishes for a wonderful woman would be most welcome. A clean, healthy lifestyle wasn’t able to prevent this for her but God willing it will help pull her through.
We’re both just stunned right now. I’ve got to call her parents and try and keep a steady voice. Trying not to let our young daughter see it in our eyes is a task I hope we’re up to as well.
Cancer is not anything I’d ever given much thought to before. Suddenly, it’s got me scared beyond comprehension.
She’s a wonderful person and mother. I just want her to be okay.
You’ve got it lieu! I’ve got a prayer chain that reaches hundreds and you’re officially on. Stay strong, hold tight to your faith and we’ll do what we can to help you on this end.
Wow. Prayers for your family and especially your wife. And much hope for a happy outcome. Being strong when you feel so helpless is very hard, but a great source of strength for those around you. God bless.
