Can we talk cancer OK, my hubby just got diagnosed. I'm trying to be brave and believe it will all be ok. But I'm scared spitless. He's my best friend, my super-hero, and the man of my dreams. He's ill and just taking a car ride makes him sick. We were very unprepared since he was being treated for ear infections and now it's not ear infections. I'd like to hear from anyone who's dealt with chemo or anything in this realm. All the testing will be complete next week so we will know exactly what we are dealing with. But the doc said that's what it is. Prayers appreciated. My big prayer is that someday we will be very old looking back on this together.
I ain't done picking on him and teasing him yet so he can't go nowheres anytime soon. KWIM. I just think we have a laughs that haven't been shared yet.

Re: Can we talk cancer My mom had cancer and had lots of chemo treatments. It is a tough road, but I know you will be there for him and support him. That is what he needs right now. Remember, cancer is just a word. I'm sure couponmakescents and other members who have battled cancer will post and be willing to talk with you. You can send me a pm anytime you need anything. My prayers are with you.
Re: Can we talk cancer LeAnn I will be praying for you. I am so sorry you are going through this. My aunt had breast cancer last year. She had constant prayer. She had chemo treatments and the Lord guided her through the whole thing. She was what you would call a "worry wart and nervous person". This changed her. She had to lean on God to help her through. I thought she was going to fall apart, but no instead she became a courageous woman. She went bald and I thought that would break her. No she laughed about it. Seriously she laughed. This woman had beautiful thick, long healthy auburn hair that alot of people admired. She got an expensive wig, and let people see her bald sometimes. She said she was alive and thank the Lord for helping her through this. We don't know why the Lord allowed her to have this, but she feels it's because it made her grow stronger in her faith, and it did tremendously. She said the chemo treatments did not make her sick at all. Which is a miracle in itself. She only missed a few days of work. She got both breasts removed just to be sure, the doctor recommended it. Now she laughs and says she has "nicer breasts" because she was smaller and got them a "little" bigger. So I am telling you this so you can try to look on the brighter side. I know it has to be very hard. My husband is my best friend also for a long time. He makes me laugh and we are like one person. He can overcome this and with God's help he will. Please keep us updated. If my aunt can overcome this, believe me anyone can. She was the world's most scared, worried person I have ever met. Now she is not. She thanks the Lord for the opportunity to show his Mercy and Grace.
Re: Can we talk cancer Thoughts and Prayers from Northern VA.
Leann, there is SO much doctors know about cancer these days! Maybe they can't cure it with an antibiotic just yet, but there is so much they CAN do. Focus on that.
Do you have family/friends in the area? I would reccommend letting them know. Yes, you may not want to be a burden, BUT you may need a lot of help with your kids or other things while you're taking him to appointments and for treatment. Also, there were people at my church who volunteered and took turns making meals for a family after their daughter had been in an accident that left her crippled. Lean on the people around you.
Also, I know it's scary, but please talk to your kids about it. It will be scary for them, but it's better than them sensing something is wrong, but not knowing what it is. Having your husband talk to them and reassure them will help and it will bring you all closer as a family unit.
Leann- I have known a lot of people who have SURVIVED cancer.
Please keep us updated, okay?
Much love and many prayers,
Julie
Re: Can we talk cancer Y'all rock. No, we are not near family. My family and I are not close emotionally or physically (600 miles and thats ok with me). It is all very scary. We've lived in our area about 2 years, but outside of folks I work with at a little part time job in a pet shop and immediate neighbors I don't know a lot of people. We were off and on in church and this is probably the thing that will take us back. Prayers appreciated. I'm sorry Dom Gal that your outcome was not good. I really am, because just the fear of a bad outcome is gripping sometimes. I'm used to being the one that is good in crisis. This is just different b/c I waited a long time for this bugger to walk into my life. I'm just not able to think of the possibility of......Here I go crying again. Thank you so much for the support. Just knowing I can talk to people all over the country day or night with different experiances makes this somehow less lonely and scary. I will def update as we get new info.
Re: Can we talk cancer I will be praying for you. My husband was diagnosed with lung cancer 3 years ago. I completely understand the fear, sometimes it is the fear of the unknown that gets us more.
He had chemo and radiation. Chemo is not nearly as hard as it was years ago and they have so many drugs to help battle the side effects. My husband was never sick from the chemo and worked through all of his treatment. He has been cancer free now for over 2 years !
The people at your church will help you. Don't be shy about asking for help. So many times people want to help but don't know how and they are really glad when you ask them for something specific.
