I wish and your wife the best cal. It has been a pleasure getting to know you (and some members of your family) and you're all good people, so I'm sure all of that good will be repaid to you and your wife. Stay positive and know that modern medicine works wonders.
Sorry to hear about that, man. I hope the doctors figure out what they need to do and take care of it as quickly and effectively as possible. Stay strong for your family, bro.
You and I are always telling each other we are wrong, so this won't be any different: You're wrong. There is plenty you can do, and that is be the strong, loving, husband your wife needs. That is not an insignificant amount of power, you are not helpless, you are her hero. There's not much i can do, but if at any point you need to vent, a pep talk or even a verbal punching bag, just say the word. Good luck, bro, you and your family are in my thoughts.
Aw hell man, I just saw this. My thoughts and prayers are out to you and your wife. Keep strong for her bro, we're all pulling for you.
Thanks to all of you for the thoughts and prayers and positive vibes. I could not possibly mention all of you, but you are all in my thoughts, and you all know who you are. The most recent news is that the tumor is a Fibroid Tumor, not malignant at this point. However, her doctor doesn't think this is the cause of her pain, so more tests to come. He has her on some medication to see if it cures the problem, which to this point, is not working. She is probably going to wind up having a hysterectomy, or another newer type of surgery for the problems, but we'll see what happens. I appreciate all the emails, pm's and phone calls, and appreciate each and everyone of you. Your thoughts and prayers have helped me deal with this. Sorry I haven't been here much, but with all of this, and working, and going to church, my days are pretty well consumed, but you are all in my thoughts daily. Mike
Continued prayers, thoughts and best wishes Brother Mike. I called to let you know we were thinking about you and the misses. Tell her we send our very best.
Sounds like at least there's plan, and with that comes the light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck again, my thoughts are still with you.
Mike, the site is secondary, no need to apologize. Your family comes first and you know that we're all pulling for you guys. Thoughts and prayers brother.
hey. i didnt see this thread in march. but i wish your family the best. im glad to hear that its not cancerous, and hopefully the root of her pain will be found and treated quickly. Stay strong, and best of luck.
First of all my prayers for your wife and of course for you as well. May she know healing in her body and peace in her spirit. May you both grow old together is wisdom and honor! Thanks to Fin Fan in Cali for giving me a heads up on this. I rarely visit this forum so I am very sorry I missed your request back in March. You have just gotten generally good news. Fibroids are removable and benign. The doctor will want to take it out immediately because they can be very painful due to the pressure the mass puts on other structures in the abdomain. While no surgery is fun, a hysterectomy is a well established procedure with a very, very high sucess rate. I am sure all of us will be praying for the surgeon and for good results. I am glad to hear you are remaining active in your congregation. I hope and pray they are being supportive of you both. You certainly need to feel the love at this terrible time. I will keep abreast of this forum and hope you are able to keep us updated. God's best to you guys, Pastor Keith
Hey Mike, I'm glad to hear you have received some better news then first thought. Everyone here is pulling for you and your family. My wife had to have a hysterectomy when she was only 29 years old. The medical technology today is amazing and I hope if she does need one, you will have faith in the outcome. Keep your chin up and know we are here for you.
Thanks for the update Mike, we'll still keep her in our prayers. Glad to hear it isn't as bad as originally thought.
Calphin, when my wife was pregnant with our first child, they discovered a mass on her thyroid gland at her first OBGYN appointment. they were unable to operate until she was past 20 weeks of her pregnancy for fear of hurting my now 9 year old daughter. thankfully things turned out well. so i know what you are feeling right now. i recall the feelings and emotions vividly. that helpless feeling gnawing at the pit of your stomach is not a good feeling. it was worse than when i was diagnosed with cancer 2 years later. your wife needs to know you are okay right now, because believe it or not, she is as worried about you as you are about her. so be strong for her, and tell her how you feel. i am not going to tell you that it is going to get a whole lot better until the doctors give you more details. but i know you have the strength to be there for your wife. and that you will, in whatever way she needs you to be. when you need to vent, do it, to friends, or to us here, we'll be here for you. Godspeed to you and yours, our prayers are with you!
Calphin, This is the very first that I am hearing of this and I am sorry to hear it. My family will keep you and yours in our prayers. Best Wishes
Mike, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray the Drs. have the wisdom and skills they need to help her to a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself also. As another said she'll be worrying about you too. May God bless you and send his healing powers and strength to you both.
my wife was in the hospital recently and I had no idea if I would ever have her back fortunately things worked out fine for us All I can say is stay strong for her and yourself. Your strength and smile will help her through this, and have faith that the prayers do work
Mike thanks for lettings us know how things were going. You and your family will be in my prayers. Believe in the power of prayer.
