Thanks for sharing your story.  I'm really glad to hear you and your wife didn't let this steal your joy on your wedding day.  I'm still waiting to have surgery on Wednesday to find out what I have. Like you my lump just showed up.  I feel completely fine. My lump is in my armpit. I just happened to messaging my shoulder because of pain I was having. I  tore my rotator cup last year and it started hurting  Saw my doctor a couple days later.  Kinda a two in one visit.  They have done 2 ultrasounds and a CT scan. Surgery to remove and do a biopsy is this Wednesday. With can't come soon enough.  Congratulations on finding true love.  It makes a difference having someone on your side.  I'm blessed to have a great wife and family  ... View more

I can relate to your love story.  I meet my wife over 20 years ago in a chat room. I feel in love with her before I even met her. Unfortunately I didn't want to be in love with her and tried many times to push her away. Every time I did i got a empty feeling.  Long story short we have been married for almost 12 years.  I respect you for standing by your boyfriend side.  I'm sure many people don't understand why you do.  I get it!!! Stay strong.  Hopefully this nightmare will end up being a beautiful dream. ... View more

Sorry to hear about your side effects during your treatments.  I can see why you feel the way you do about losing your hair.  I'm still waiting to see what I have.  By end of next week I should know . If its cancer I'm hoping it is Hopkins. From my research it's very treatment able. I feel in my heart it's just going to be stage 1. My doctor's have been amazing. My first doctor visit was 3 weeks ago. My surgery is this Wednesday.  I do feel quilty that I'm getting great treatment and I'm going to be fine when so many young people are very bad off.  I'm a 55 year old grandfather of 4. With 4 great adult children and a great wife.  I wish I could trade places with someone who hasn't had the chance to be a grandparent.  Stay strong. Enjoy every day with your kids.  They grow up so quick.  ... View more

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this again. I can't relate to that you have been through or will be going through.  I still don't know what I have but the doctors have lead me to believe it is cancer. I believe it's going to be ok.  My life is about making this world a better place for others . No matter how long I may have.  My family and friends always expect me to be strong and in control of bad situations.  Something this means faking a smile while I struggle in silence while I'm trying to keep my family feeling positive. Unfortunately I cant take away the fear my wife and kids are going through waiting to hear about my surgery results.  But I have control of how they see me dealing with it. If I have cancer I'm fine with it. My family will come out stronger and closer than ever before.  I call that a blessing.  I hope you can find a way to make the best of what time you do have.  Remember every week is full of days no matter how healthy we are. Make the best of each one. Tomorrow isn't promised to healthy people.  ... View more

So glad to hear you are turning things around.  I can't say  I known  how you feel . I'm still waiting for the doctors to confirm that I do have cancer. They have pretty much lead me to believe I do. But they have reacted so quickly and done so many tests they keep telling me that they caught what ever I have at a early stage. My joy and reason I love my life is my family.  I have been blessed with a wonderful wife , 4 kids and 4 grandchildren. We have told our adult children but not telling the grandchildren anything yet. We just don't know for sure that this is . Ill know come this Wednesday. No matter what I have I refuse to allow it to change how I live.   Stay strong. Remember no matter how down we feel at times we are still are in control of how we react.  We may have cancer but cancer doesn't have us.. ... View more

I think it's sad that we are at the point that we are being forced to get the jab or lose our job.  I just received a email yesterday saying in 3 weeks we have 3 choose.  Shot, get tested every week or quite. I have 5 more days until they do surgery and a biopsy. I'm definitely not going to get vaccinated if I have to go through treatment.  I can't afford to lose my income ,insurance or delay treatment if it's necessary.  Every doctor i have seen in the last 10 months has asked about me being vaccinated and strongly support it except one.  He even told me that if I had gotten vaccinated he wouldn't be surprised that my health problems were related to the vaccinations.  My primary Dr and surgeon are treating me like I was royalty.  I'm more than happy with how quickly they are moving forward with whatever I have  3 weeks ago I saw my doctor because I started having pain in my right shoulder again. 11 months ago I tore my rotator cup.  I mentioned i found a lump a month before se   ...

Sorry to hear about you having cancer . There is nothing wrong with researching online and finding out as much information we can.  My wife's ex husband found out he had lung cancer many years ago.  He researched. Asked questions about it with his doctor. Against his doctor advised he only had a partial lung removed.  He when through treatment and is living a active life and working.  Stay strong. If I was 70 plus years old and in poor health i would ask if treatment is worth it.  I'm waiting to hear back about what I have.  One more test next week and we should know.  I do know I have a family that loves me.  In good health or poor they are what makes look forward to the next day  One day at a time  ...

Sorry your family is going through this.  To answer your question about is it ok to contact someone about your sister health.  Its my understanding that it's only allowed if there is a sign letter saying it ok to share with  someone who has been named in the letter of concrete.  ... View more

I'm so sorry you feel like giving up.  I can't say that I know how you feel because I haven't walked in your shoes.  Me personally.  I  use every day to try to make this world a little better for my love ones.  I'm not sure what I got. I'll know soon enough.  No matter what it is I got I'm going to live my life so that my grandchildren will learn not to give up  Hope you are feeling better  ... View more
