    A chaplain friend once reminded me that we hear the word "cancer" as "death sentence", and that isn't always the case. She has a course of treatment available and a doc in the family to help navigate it all, as well as a husband who obviously cares for her. Don't mistake your love and concern for weakness because it isn't. I'll keep you both in my prayers.

    I stood in your shoes 11 years ago last April. My wife, Linda had just been diagnosed with non-hogkins lymphoma. The verdict, 50 -50 for five years or less. Well eleven years later she is still giving me the gears. No sign of cancer. Cancer CAN be beaten. Have faith in the doctors, and faith in your church.

    Our families prayers are with yours.

    Take Care

    you and your wife have a tough road ahead and it will stress you many times but cancer can be beaten now. Your love and devotion to each other will be tested now like no other time in your lives.
    You and your wife will be in my prayers.
    I have out lived one wife and accepted being thrown away by another and it is all just life's challenges to see if we are tough enough. I am sure you and your wife are tough enough.
    As to the crying thing, it really means nothing but that you care very much about your wife and that is a good thing.

    My thoughts are with you and your wife.

    Not to be too clinical or to be too business like at this point, but I have been there done that about 3 years ago with my sister. You should really see about getting a trusts/estate/will attorney to make a house call with you and your wife, especially if you two have kids.

    If I had to do it over again with my sister, I would try to keep her on presnidone, a steroid, for as long as possible. Presnidone, as you probably know, makes people want to eat and pack on the pounds.

    And not to thread drift this into a totally different direction... but, yeah, I would have bought marijuana for my sister to smoke, that would have hopefully made her get the munchies and get rid of her nausea. Again, making her keep up her weight.

    We will keep you all in our prayers.
    Healing for her according to God's grace; and strength for the rest of you to be there for her.
    Lorene and I have been married nearly twenty years, and I cannot imagine life without her.

    God Bless

    Don't despair. My wife of 46 yr was treated for cervical cancer in Feb. 2007.
    She's more in charge now than ever before. Beating cancer does that to wives.
    Keep your faith and be determined. Prayers work miracles and there are lots being said for both of you.

    Guys I have what might be some great news, my wife went in for her second surgery which was laproscopically done which is much easier to recover from. The OBGYN/Oncology surgeon said that he did not think she has cancer and unless the pathology comes back differently, it may have just been chronically inflamed ovaries which can mimic cancer in some tests. He said that she had none of the classic symptoms or growth in the omentumn that cancer patients would have. Let's keep our fingers crossed, but I think we are over the worst.

    It's great to receive good news. Praise God for that report. Prayers said.
