Prayer Request for Wife

Be assured that I will keep your wife in my prayers. Psalm 9:10 gave me strength when I thought I had none, and perhaps it will help you and your wife.

The Livestrong bracelet I wear on my right wrist is a daily reminder to me to pray for all the people who are suffering with cancer every day. Prayers can and do help.
 
I don't know how I missed your post before. Both you and your wife and your children...well, your entire family have my prayers.

Please pardon my spelling and punctuation...I just had my third chemo yesterday and my Neulasta shot this afternoon so I am headed downhill fast.

I am so sorry for what has happened to you all. There aren't many happy words to offer, other than to say I will pray for you ALL and I hope all goes as well as possible and yes, strength for you.

I am 55 and my children are grown, so I am lucky in that respect. The youngest is a senior at The University. My husband has been a saint...there aren't enough words to thank him for all he has done for me.

Briefly...I found what they called a small lump--2.1 cm, highest grade of agressiveness. They called it Stage IIB. I opted for a double mastectomy...a good thing, because post surgery pathology report showed cancerous cells already lurking in the other "non-cancerous" breast. Also had one lymph node involved, so I don't have to do the radiation after the chemo since I went for the mastectomy instead of the lumpectomy. (They said I'd have to do radiation + chemo if there were 4 or more lymph nodes involved)

I haven't had that genetic test because there's no cancer in my family. But I worry about my daughter....

I had reconstructive surgery (10hours with the mastectomy part but I had a wonderful microsurgeon/plastic surgeion) done at the time of the mastectomy but since than I've had to have another surgery to fix a large nonhealing wound and if I had it to do over again I guess I'd wait to do the reconstruction. I just didn't want to have to have another surgery after the mastectomy...little did I know...and I couldn't bear the thought of waking up with two holes there even though my boobs were nothing to be proud of after nursing 3 kids.

You are right. It seems like years. I can't figure out how come I keep going back for the chemo except people won't let me quit. Anyway, I know it is hard on my husband...at least my kids are old enough to understand. But I have a couple of other really, really bad emotional things going on in my life, too, and I guess that doesn't help....

Anyway, this is your post and I just hijacked it. I just wanted you to know I know where you're coming from and my heart goes out to you. Is your wife's cancer hormone positive? Herceptin positive? If there is anything you can think of I can do I would be glad to do it. All of it...the hair loss, etc...you think you'll be prepared, but you're not. And I just feel ugly. Funny story, though, considering all the ugly junk that's been going on in my life: I'd been reading this Daily Bible that's supposed to get you to read the entire Bible in one hyear. Well, I'd quit reading on it a little before all this happened and when I opened it up to August 25th to start up again GUESS WHAT OLD TESTAMENT BOOK WE WERE ON??????

Anonymous and EyesofTex, you and your familes are both in my prayers.

My mom is a breast cancer survivor who had a double mastectomy about 4 years after first being diagnosed with cancer. She went through radiation and chemo treatments as well. Her double mastectomy surgery was also 10 hours long and I can remember the day so clearly when she came home from the hospital. I felt so helpless.

But my mom is a survivor. She has been through a lot and has been cancer free for awhile. So I know that is can be hard but with support and God's faith you can get through it.

Anonymous-your wife is every lucky to have such a caring husband. Keep her faith strong as well as yours and you can get through this together

Either one of you, please feel free to contact me whenever just to vent or with help or anything. Take care and God bless.
 
I often check this board hoping for a positive update. It is just over a year since your first post and I often pray for your wife and your family.
 
I can't believe I missed the original post on this either. I can only mimic the thoughts and prayers of everybody else on this thread. I offer you to PM me as well if you'd like.

Love hard. Fight hard. Be strong. We are with you.
 
Continued prayers to you ane your wife, ace. In John, Jesus tells his disciples that "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

So please, take heart.

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
I Peter 5:7
 
Prayers to you and your family. My famiy and I pray every night for those afflicted with cancer. Keep fighting.
 
Prayers from my family to yours. I couldn't even begin to imagine what you and your wife have been through. Hang in there. God will see her through this.
