At times like this it's hard to find any words of comfort. Hang in there and fight with all you have.

Steve & I will be keeping you and your family in our prayers.

 

The power of prayer is Awsome, and with you in all of our prayers the best medicine available is on the way. Stay strong. Wishing you many more happer new years, as well as your better half. Take care.

George,

So very sorry to hear of your news and the timing of when it was delivered to you. There is never a good time for news like that. We are much alike...

A little over a year ago my wife and i went shopping for a home, we looked at many and like you, I insisted it have at least a 2 car garage (the realtor thought I was nuts). She would call us to look at a house and my very first question would be "does it have a big garage"?

We found a house we liked and bought it, 1 week before our moving day and Thanksgiving (we were so happy and all we could think about was moving day) we were informed by the doctor that my wife had stage 3 breast cancer. Suddenly the new house, the big garage, moving day, was all a joke. None of it meant anything. Almost exactly one year later my wife has completed treatment including, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. The cancer had also spread to her lymphnodes as well and were removed as a result. Today she is happy healthy and we are enjoying our new life that we set out to build a year ago. We both live with the ever present threat of recurrence of cancer but do not let it put us in fear. You dont cure cancer, its not something you ever get over, even when tests show it is gone, it always there lurking for possible rebound. You make room in your life for Cancer, you accpet the fact that a new years eve, a moving day, a thanksgiving day may be dotted with bad news. Unfortuanetly thats the game of cancer (or any dire health problem) The trick is to not let it spoil your time here and now. I know thats easier said then done.

Naturaly your wife would have the worries she does, that is natural. I did as concerns my wife as well. I would like to tell your wife this, worry is a waste of time, im not saying dont be concerned, but concern and worry are 2 different things. Usually the things you worry about are the last thing to actually happen. Most times its the things you didnt worry about that hit you from left field. Nothing can predict the future or figure the reasons why certain things are what they are.

I wish you all the best in trying to STAY STRONG for your wife, and I wish your wife all the best in trying to STAY STRONG for you.

As for your New Years Eve being ruined, well use that as an excuse to have 30 more that arent ruined! YOU CAN DO IT! YOU WILL DO IT! BE SUPERDUTY TOUGH!

My prayers and thoughts are with you.

 

rockwell- we are a lot alike. my thoughts and prayers are with you as well.
very good points were brought to my attention through this thread and for that i am greatful. i had a tough day today with testing but i can say that i feel stronger spiritually and emotionally after reading the posts from all. my energy has been shiftedn towards positive things now. i have chosen life... as hard as this may be i will survive this for my wife and myself, i am way too young not too fight.
it does put all things into perspective.
i will be making a day for the wife and i all day tommorow after we get out of the H. tomorow will be for us, not the cancer.
i do not talk about my problems on the jobsite, to many feelings to be tied too. most people i work with do not even know because i cant bear the looks and the way they treat me thereafter, so i bottle most up... for this i want to stand tall and thank FTE for the support and godd thoughts and prayers for they have re-focused me and re-energized me to fight.thank you from the bottom of my heart.

 

God Bless you and your family george! I just read this post and I will pray for you and your family also!

George,

Sorry to hear the bad news guy. I will remember you and your family in my prayers. Talk to your higher power, he will hear you.

Jim

 

George,

I too am sorry to here about your situation. Just read the post.

As with the other members of this forum, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Keep your spirits up by coming here daily for your dose of humor to
brighten your day. I have always found that friends and humor are
very good medicines for repairing the stressed and frustrated
human spirit in this day and age.

On another note (I am not looking for a reply) have you gotten a second opinion? Sometimes, even doctors, people can miss alternative
solutions. I have no information, but just a thought process you might want to consider (you probably already have).

Peace, Prayers and Humor

George, I just made it back from vacation and heard the news. I believe strange things happen to people for reasons sometimes unknown. I just want to encourage you to beat the out of the stuff so we all can continue to see you here at FTE for a long time to come. I have had things happen in my life that make me want to give up. HOWEVER, I just plain refused! I Do believe in the power of prayer....I am not super religious, BUT in recent months I have had several prayers answered that I had just plain given up on. These answers were not given to me exactly the way I wanted them, BUT I believe there is a master plan for each of us and being as intelligent as we are we are given the tools and it is up to us to use them. So I guess what I am trying to say is to fight like hell and don't let nobody tell you any different. I know it may get you down and weak, but DO NOT give up the fight. I feel everything will work out.

 

thanks fellas! im home from the hospital. i have now been to the best oncologist in the area. had 3 doc poking me today. rough. went plowing yesterday though. gotta love that after treatments! glad i dont have to shovel.
the snow was actually pretty to me, thought of other stuff for ahile.
