I Have Something to Say

This is a follow-up to my first post. My wife received a diagnosis today. She has cancer. She's survived cancer before, and I know she'll pull through this one. Even though I had prepared for bad news, it still hit me pretty hard. I guess you can't prepare for that kind of stuff. She has surgery next week. All I can do is cross my fingers and stay by her side.

I'm sorry to hear of her diagnosis. It's great you're going to stay by her side to support her. She is going to need you. I hope you have friends and family to support you through this as well. I know first hand how hard it is when you have no support at all and have to do it all on your own.

@gmatthewb She's strong. She's beat it before. She assured us that she'll be home by Saturday to watch football.

I am sorry to hear your bad news. What kind of cancer did she have before? What is her prognosis now? You can be as prepared as possible and it still is harder than you might predict. You sound so supportive and caring. And you are so young the two of you. I hope they remove it all and she heals quickly with you at her side.

@PoetryNEmotion The cancer is on her kidney and some surrounding areas. There are some suspicious areas on her lung, but they can check it out later on.
