My Husband was diagnosed last Friday. We are still in a fog. And we are scared.
Such horrible, frightening news to have on your plate. Hopefully it is in the early stages and caught in time. Know that as I pray for Elizabeth and her family, I will include your husband as well. Stay strong — he needs you now more than ever.
some cancers are better(if we can use that terminology) than others.
support groups for your type of cancer will be helpful. You can learn more from them than you can from the docs
by any chance is it Prostate cancer?
Prayers for you both darlin’
Prayers for you both. It hits you like a ton of bricks. Then you learn all you can and fight. Thank goodness for the doctors that treat, oncologists are a different breed. Please keep us posted on how he is doing, my arms extended in a hug for you both and prayers for some good news in his prognosis.
God bless you both, I’m so sorry for your difficulties. Prayers for good doctors, effective treatment and a cure.
Your fear is understandable. Hopefully, your husband’s cancer was detected early and can be conquered quickly. Will pray for him and for you, and his treating medical team.
Prayers for you both. May I suggest that you invest $12 or whatever in a book called “Knockout” by Suzanne Somers? FORGET that she played a stupid idiot on Three’s Company, forget everything about her. The book is not HER — it’s a compilation of doctors working outside the cancer box to get cures. CURES. Cures where you keep your immune system and your health.
Look, if you don’t like anything any of these brilliant, world class doctors say in the book, you only wasted $12. But I believe you will understand cancer better, as well as the Official Cancer-Fighting Machine better, and it could save a life to get that understanding. Some “traditional” cancer treatments are as barbaric as leeches used to be. Just check it out — these are world-renowned MDs in here.
May your husband win this battle.
I will pray for your husband to get well.
God bless you both.
Prayers for you both, for peace, health, and wisdom.
Be strong and keep the faith. Medicine has evolved and is much more advanced and effective than when my wife was diagnosed.
God Bless y’all!
“My Husband was diagnosed last Friday. We are still in a fog. And we are scared.”
I am so sorry to hear that and wish the best for you. From the first day it hits, you just never know, it has so many incarnations, so many ways it can go. I hope you will keep us informed of his progress. And I do mean progress!
I’m so sorry to hear of your husband’s diagnosis. I have added you and he to my prayers.
Please know that there are a LOT of prayer warriors here at FR. Brad’s Gramma (who I’ve pinged to this post) has one HUGE list of some of the most wonderful prayer warriors... If you don’t have a thread started for a prayer request already, please let me know - I’d be happy to help you get one started. I know that it’s been a huge blessing for many FReepers to be able to update everyone at once via a thread - and also to be able to read through the prayers whenever you need a little “lift”.
God bless you & your husband, SW.
I’m so sorry.
I see he’s submariner....those guys are tough!
Please look into Saint Peregrine. Pray to him.
Both my Parents have had cancer. Both prayed to St. Peregine and both have recovered fully without chemo or anything else.
They live with me and are truly wonderul. Prayers to you and yours for a speedy recovery.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last month. If it's any help when I was told my mind went blank and all I could do was cry. After the tears I felt this deep sense of peace. I knew it was going to be okay. I not only knew it I felt it. I had my surgery on November 19th and as soon as I woke up I knew it was gone, all gone. I had my surgery follow up on November 30th and was told the pathology report said they did get it all, but I already knew that. I will start radiation therapy some time this month which will last for 7 weeks, 5 days a week. Then 5 years of a pill I'll have to take daily. Not sure what it is as my doctor said we'll get to that step after the radiation. I know I'll be okay as God has already shown me things I needed to know. The first one was I'm 63 and had my very first mammogram when my cancer was caught. Also, I have no health insurance but I know God is watching over me and I know he'll be with me every step of my recovery.
My best suggestion is for your husband and you to find a support group in your area or call the American Cancer Society. I received some great information from a breast cancer group called Network of Strength. They sent me a wonderful booklet called “After Diagnosis” a guide for patients and families. It's from the American Cancer Society and answered a lot of the questions I had as to how I should deal with “all of it”.
If I can be of any help or support please let me know. In the mean time my prayers will be with the both of you and your family.
Prayers for you both as you face this fight together. Stay strong and positive. They are doing remarkable things in cancer treatment now. You and your husband will be in my daily prayers.
HUGS,
