Haven't posted in quite a while. I've been overwhelmed -- diagnosed with thyroid cancer AND the OW's pregnancy.

She called Tuesday night in tears. Had been bleeding for two days and miscarried. Was scheduled for the D&C yesterday.

Wanted to thank everyone for their support during this very difficult time in my life. Now I will move into the more mainstream recovery group, since there is no longer a baby on the way.

Know this is probably the best possible outcome. Now my baby daughter will never have to know about this ugly episode, and I am hopeful that my FWH and I can focus more on recovery, than on how to deal with OW and OC.

Thanks again, and god bless you all.

What's wrong?

She also told you she has cancer, but you say nothing about that--only focus on the ow's mis-fortune? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

What, are you bummed because of what happened on the 2nd or something? You've seemed even more hostile since then.

I'm very sad to hear of your diagnosis, and pray for everything to be okay for you, both physically and emotionally. I hope things go well in the recovery of your M as well! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Then why didn't you stop long enough to think it through, and say it more like that in the first place?

And...

Where did she say ow having a baby was going to push her over the edge?

M,

Praying for u, please know that nothing is too hard for God.

God also never makes a mistake, & I believe everything happens for a reason.

Praying also for healing in your M.

Take care.

You do whatever you think is best. I'm not the board censor, even though I act like it sometimes--call me a wannabe. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I'm not angry anymore Baba, just incredibly sad. There were NO good outcomes in this situation, and even though I am relieved that I no longer have to deal with the stress of contact with OW, I am sad that the baby had to die for that to happen.

Was feeling very depressed when I found out I had this cancer. However, my faith is pulling me through this. See the surgeon on Tuesday to set up my surgery. Luckily this type of cancer has cure rates above 90%. Will let you know how the surgery goes. Thanks again for the prayers and support.

Will pray for the best outcome ever for your surgery. I was biopsied for thryroid cancer 2 years ago--the possibility alone scared the dickens out of me. You are very brave.

Godspeed! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

If it is so offensive, why didn't a Mod for MB do anything about it?

A mod from TOW has no say here. How often are MB mods over on TOW telling them what can't and can't be said on their board? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

PS - I wish you the best of luck in your treatment for cancer. Now you can focus on getting well.

I really hope that NotDoneInYet (a BW who frequents this board)doesn't read this thread. She just miscarried a few weeks ago.
