This is a post out of a nightmare not really something I ever thought I would be asking for. Long story short my 34 year old wife was diagnosed with breast cancer this week. We spent the entire day with the doctors yesterday getting our options and what happens next. The docs are going to be aggressive so the chemo starts first next Friday. All I ask is for your thoughts and prayers for us, our kids are only 8 and 4 and when I get up from this computer we are going to tell them as much as we can without scaring the to death. Not looking forward to it. Anyway thanks in advance, going to be a rough winter for us.

And just so you know who those prayers are for.

First prayer already sent. May His blessings and strength be a shield to surround all of you.
In Christ's name, Amen.

Prayers Sent!

As an aside, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer at 29, two weeks after we found out she was pregnant with kid #3. The first doc said it didn't look good, at first glance, based on the initial surgery and size, he said it would be stage 4 and about a year to live.
Fortunately, my kids were younger (3 and 4 years old) than yours and couldn't fully understand what was going on. After the first doc told us to have an abortion, we switched doctors. Long story short, it was FIVE years cancer free this year and my son and wife are both healthy! God is Good!

By the way, don't read a whole lot on the internet about cancer stuff. There are a LOT of sad stories out there and misinformation that doesn't apply with today's treatment options.

My wife's chemo knocked her down for 6-9 days after each treatment. A positive side of that terrible medicine is it's the best weight loss program there is. (You have to look for the positives :) )

(Edit) for the chemo we had, it took a long time. We took a laptop and watched movies together. We treated it like a date without the kids.

If they are starting with Chemo first, then that's a good sign (I think). We had to have surgery first and the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes. So she had numerous surgeries (3 different hospitals), 4 chemo's while pregnant, 4 chemo after delivery, and radiation. Then more surgeries for reconstruction. You can get thru it though - again, God is good!

Thanks man it really helps to hear survival stories, and your family's, wow what can I say pregnant and cancer. That was one thing the chemo doc was very clear on DO NOT GET PREGNANT. Looking for somebody to snip me right now. That is fine we were done having babies anyway, just adds more to it.

I fully believe in healing, seen it done. Oddly, guess that's not the right way to put it but, getting ready for church now and there will be a minister there that we have gotten to know quite well personally over the last few years that has had some amazing healings in his young life. I know that is possible to go in for the PET scan this week and they not even be able to find the original tumors.

Prayers sent for your wife and family.

I know that theh initial shock is overwhelming, but you guys can beat this.

I have an aunt that is a 20+ year breast cancer survivor and a sister that is now cancer free and just healing up from reconstructive surgery.

Keep your chins up and trust in God.
