PM,

Please be positive - you are not going to lose your DH again! Whatever the diagnosis is, you will fight just like you did before. We will be right here with our prayers and fighting with you.

Stay positive!


BS - me 56

12/25/06 - Dday - WH promised NC. Plan A in effect. Thought we were in recovery.

6-3-07 - Dday#2 Found out NC never took place and A never ended. Found MB NC promised again, but WH would not write NC letter.

9/07 - Dday #3. Still lying and sneaking around. Plan B implemented
WH wants nothing to do with me

Dear Meg ... I am praying for you both.

Don't jump to conclusions Meg ... sometimes Drs want someone besides the patient in the room in order to make smarter decisions. Especially when the treatments available require lots of choices, and choices that are difficult to explain.

God grant grant Meg & Mister Serenity & Wisdom & Courage

This sent chills up my spine, I can't imagine how you felt when you got the request that both of you go.

I'm glad you felt you could call on us.

Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are mine.

You both are a Son and a Daughter of the King's.

I'm Praying that He grants you both a peace that is beyond understanding.

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

Thank you all sooooo much for your prayers. I am overwhelmed.

We just got back from the doc and the news isn't good. He has colon cancer. The doctor (and we) are optimistic. He has to have more blood work and a CT scan and then they're going to do surgery in about two weeks. Hopefully that will be the end of it.

So I guess the prayer now needs to be that it is contained in the one area where they found it.

I can't stick around right now, but I just wanted to update everyone.

If we survived all the stuff we have already, we WILL beat this too and have an even GREATER testimony.

(My tears are dried and I plan on being hopeful from here on.)

For very bad news, that sounds quite manageable.
It sounds like they caught it early and it's something that can be dealt with. Thanks for letting us know, and do spend all the time you need to with DH. We'll see you when we see you, and you know we're all rooting for you and your H.

How's hubby taking this?


Hubby is in good spirits and very positive. In his words, my God is bigger than this. He said he's going to surround himself with positive people and just take it one step at a time. We've talked to several people now who know somebody that knows somebody that has been through this. His chances are very good.

My mom says, "you know honey, it seems like this was all a plan, since he hasn't been to the doc in several years, all the sudden you guys are able to afford insurance for him (he's always been self-employed), you push him to go get a check up, the doc finds it now rather than when it's too late." I agree. There's a reason for this and I'm not going to waste energy worrying when we really don't have any answers yet. It just really freaked me out when the doctor called this AM.

Then again, I'm strong now... today... we'll see what happens tomorrow. smile

Thanks again my wonderful MB friends. You guys rawk!

PM,

Prayers going up for you both...

Quote
Be not dismayed whate'er betide,
God will take care of you;
beneath his wings of love abide,
God will take care of you.

God will take care of you,
through every day, o'er all the way;
he will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you;
lean, weary one, upon his breast,
God will take care of you.

God will take care of you,
through every day, o'er all the way;
he will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

I'm on the prayer line too and know that my thoughts are with you.

As a cancer survivor, and the daughter of a colon cancer survivor (19 years now) I would recommend that you contact the American Cancer Society. Just head to their website.

They have the most current information, a network of volunteers/survivors who can give you support in ways that you might not even think about.
