My wife is under the knife as I type this. It's been a fast & furious ride from the diagnosis exactly 4 weeks ago. Multiple mammograms, multiple biopsies, ultrasound, MRI, surgeon, oncology, reconstruction surgeon and wait times mixed in for results to come back.

Lobular carcinoma if I recall correctly. There is nothing quite like the kick in the pants a cancer diagnosis gives you. One great result was negative lymph node involvement. Also she was told that her cancer is very hormone receptor positive. Hormone therapy will shut off the cancer's progression and since she is getting it removed strongly prevent it's return.

She is handling this like a trooper! She fully intends to drive to Utah with our daughter at the end of this month, all her doctors know this and agree it is possible.

Glad her recovery looks promising. Prayers.

Timely thread. A coworker has been out for about 2 months. Complications from tooth removal. Then he was still bot back... Unofficial word was cancer on his liver and lungs. Boss called that he died today. Damn good electrician and hard worker.

You're not kidding about the immediately devastating effect a cancer diagnosis has. At least it sounds like your wife's long-term prognosis is a lot better than many other varieties of cancer. May everything related to this go well for her and for you.

All the best to your wife! I've been through prostate cancer and am currently dealing with multiple myeloma, and this stuff ain't fun. We're pulling for her!

have your wife in my thoughts. Going through something similar with my fiancee, early on and a lot of unknowns. Really is a gut check.

I have an aunt that was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2001. She is still doing great and in her 80's now.

Your wife can and WILL beat this.

Thank you all for the prayers, thoughts and kind words. She came home late yesterday afternoon. We have a visiting nurse at the house today. She spent the night downstairs sleeping in a recliner with 2 German Shepherds closely guarding her. She is on the road to recovery.
