My wife aged 40 now has stage 3 Ovarian Cancer

**The Virginian** · 11-08-2009, 05:32 AM

She is not dead, but I can not imagine life with out her after only spending less than 2 decades with her. She collapsed on Halloween night and had to be rushed to the hospital and Monday they found it during exploratory surgery. When they told me and she was in the CCU I turned to Jell-o in the parking lot and cried like a baby for two days on and off. My Dad is a doctor and was able to tell me the real state of her condition and that she can live a long time, be disease free and manage the disease. I pray she does not die from it soon and that we can get her well. I am trying to keep up a good attitude and I know I must for her, but it is very hard right now. I am getting better at it everyday. She took the news much better than I did since she is a scientist and now can focus on fighting it. It is going to be a long road and I pray she gets through it.

I have nothing to offer but prayers and sympathy. You have both.

It's good to talk to other people in your time of need. This forum is filled with hundreds of friends that you don't know you have. We are a family here and if you need any thing please ask. Our prayers and good wishes are with you.

I'd like to add a little optimism, my wife went through this in 79' and is still kicking, and that was with it having gotten into the lymph system.
It is possible for this to turn out ok and I pray that it will for you and her. Try and keep your spirits up for her. Good Luck.

I have prayed for you and your wife and will continue to do so. That you will have the strength to face every hour and she will have the will to fight. This is not a fight to face alone. Allow others to minister to you and your family and continue to trust God.

In God we trust!

Thanks to all and now that I am learning more about this type of cancer and having a father that is a doctor to help me see the real picture it has for prognosis. The good news is she is young and like myself, very well fed so that if she gets sick from the treatment she won't waste away from starvation. She is now up, walking around and giving me a few lumps along the way. Hopefully, she will come home tomorrow and I will take her up to Baltimore, MD to Johns Hopkins for more evaluation and to get a plan to start treatment. She has no doubt she is going to beat it and she was more freaked out about recovering from the exploratory surgery. She took the news of the cancer really well and exclaimed that now she knows what it is and how to defeat it. I think I was the weakest link in this whole episode, crying like a kid and not taking it well at all at first. Now I am ready to help her beat this disease and soon it will be time to "land the Marines on the beach" to start our medical assualt on this cancer. Guys/gals thanks a billion for your support and kind owrds/prayers and I'll keep everyone posted.

Please do! Real Men do cry and then get on with the business of living!

I know exactly how you feel. Times like these are tough for you both. My wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in June. She has had major surgery and just completed her last Chemo treatment. The prognosis is 98-99% survival in her case, so we are optimistic. The medical profession has come a long way in the treatment of cancer. Be strong and support her, you will need each other. Odds are, she will be fine....dale
