Cancer: Formerly about my wife Let’s help each other out (1 Viewer)

[glumpy]

Odds are good since you caught it so quick--good luck!

This may be inapprropriate to post here(but it might help me keep my sanity)

A couple weeks ago my wife found a lump in her left breast. She did the right thing and contacted her Dr’s right away. After the initial consultation we moved onto a complete mammogram as well as an ultra sound.

The results were inconclusive other than determining that yes, she does in fact have 2 small masses in her left breast. Both are small, less than 1cm, which they tell us, is a good sign.

Just yesterday we had them perform a biopsy.

We will know the results in a couple hours.

I can’t tell you how scared I am….and have to believe that my wife is near breakdown

At this point it may be nothing, but it could very well be a very big thing.

I actually went through this with my wife many years ago. It was very scary. She ended up having the masses removed, although they were not cancerous.

My thoughts are with you and your wife.

I will keep your wife's breasts in my thoughts GB.

Not a bad reminder that laughter is the best medicine.

Yeah, I refrained from pointing out that I would have hoped to have found such a lump first.

But anyhow. We're used to living on the edge.

Seriously, best wishes to Mrs. Wrigley and you.

My first thought was to post something similar, but I figured I didn't have enough board cred to pull it off.

 

[Courtjester]

Hang in there. My wife has struggled with cystic masses in her breasts all her life. Those little bastards appear every once in a while during an exam and scare us to death for a few days and then it turns out to be nothing.

T&P this turns out to be nothing.

You have good instincts.

GL TPW Wrigleys wife!

 

[trogg78]

I'm sure you have the best doctors that will make sure your wife will be fine and live a long healthy life.

 

[shadyridr]

Anything yet? Best wishes to you and the wife

 

[Herb]

Hoping for the best. Any news? :fingerscrossed:

Thinking good thoughts.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Thoprawishes wrigley. Lots of potentially positive outcomes. Hang in there

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Hoping for the best. This board has had enough bad news over the past year.

 

[AAABatteries]

Wrigley - my wife had the same thing and it turned out to be nothing. Doc said that it was very common and the % of women who actually have an issue is really low of those tested.

 

[pats3in4]

I'd be scared, too, despite everyone telling me try not to worry. Hang in there and do your best to stay calm. I'm sure the percentages are greatly in your favor.

 

[3C's]

Hope it's nothing but it sounds like this is an early detection which should go a long way to being fully recoverable. Sending good thoughts.

 

[Wrigley]

That sucks. I'm sorry. But she caught it early - every reason for optimism.

 

[Otis]

GL GB, thoughts and prayers

 

[maxwelledison]

Sorry to hear this. Good luck, Wrigley.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Good luck to your wife and you Wrigley. I don't want to think about going through that with my wife.

WTF is going on around here - its been brutal health-wise to the community here lately.

 

[CurlyNight]

Sorry to hear but it's caught really early and prognosis is real good at this stage. God bless.

 

[ChiefD]

Prayers coming your way from KC.

 

[Das Boot]

Prayers coming your way from KC.

And from Columbus.

TPW, to you and yours, Wrigley.

Cleveland town too.

Find the right people she feels comfortable with and support her any way she needs it. People kick cancers ### all the time. Wishing the best for you and your family.

 

[simey]

I'm sorry it wasn't the news you and your wife were hoping for, Wrigley. As others have mentioned, early detection is a good thing. I have a couple friends who were diagnosed around your wife's age, and they are doing great a decade later. I wish the same for your wife. I've told the positive vibe wizard to send some signals you and your wife's way - <---positive vibe wizard. The magic wand looks a bit like a clothes hanger, but it's effective. Well wishes & GB.

 

[Kanil]

I'm sorry to hear that Wrigley. If there's anything you guys need, I'm sure you can post it here and you'll have dozens of people jumping to help. Thoughts are with you and your family!

Your wife is young and healthy and works out and the masses are small. My mom is old, overweight and in terrible health and she beat cancer this year. Mrs Wrigley will be fine. The FFA has her back.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Prayers for your wife and family. There's probably going to be a lot of suckiness coming but the odds are greatly in your wife's favor.

 

[Angry Beavers]

That sucks. Positive vibes and thoughts headed your way

 

[shadyridr]

Is sad face a confirmation of what we all think? Sorry to hear. #### cancer

 

[AAABatteries]

Wow - sorry GB Wrigley. ####.

Good luck.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

G Fing D it.

Sorry, bro.

 

[glock]

Time to kick cancer's ###. You and the Mrs can do this.

 

[bierfiend]

very sorry. hang in there. as some have mentioned, there is reason for optimism.

 

[jwb]

So sorry. From reading your posts here, it seems like she will have a great support system, and it was caught early. Stay strong for her.

 

[uconnalum]

Wrigley prayers go out to you, your wife and family. Be her rock in this test The Lord has sent you. God Bless...

 

[Aerial Assault]

:(

Oh, no. ####. I just read from the top. I'm so sorry, but as many have said far more eloquently, early detection is everything and you're obviously there for her. TPW and best, best wishes.

 

[Annyong]

Is sad face a confirmation of what we all think? Sorry to hear. #### cancer

Unfortunately yes.

 

[Judge Smails]

So sorry Wrigley. Completely understand how scary this is. It does sound like it was caught early so that is positive. Please keep us posted on your wife's progress. Thoughts and prayers for a great outcome and many, many decades together with Mrs. Wrigley. I'll add a luminaria for Mrs. W to the one's I already have (F cancer) for our Relay for Life event.

 

[dickey moe]

T and P Wrigley.

 

[PatsWillWin]

Hang in there man. If you're going to have cancer, detecting it early is the way to go. GL to you and your wife.

My 75yo aunt just kicked colon cancers butt. Mrs W will beat this one!

 

[Godsbrother]

Sorry it wasn't good news but she's young and healthy and you caught it early. She will beat it.
