    Damn and double damn it Tim. (Morton Salt comes to mind.)

    Ouch, a friends wife had to have a biopsy done on a lump found in her breast, took two weeks to get the result and they found it was benign.

    I hope your wife gets the same result, the waiting is the hardest part!

    The waiting is difficult, but her doctor is moving this along as fast as possible. He is certain that it is cancer. We just need to find out from the biopsy what type and along with the PET scan, what to do next, although they have already made an indication that she will have surgery as soon as they know. Again, waiting. :(

    Hey Tim i know how it feels when the bad news just keep on coming,be positive (it's hard) but it will come good in the end.
    My wife has beaten full blown cancer of the breast, they found it 12 years ago and she's still here nagging me,so the odds are really good.

    Tim, I am saddened to hear of this:(.
    All I can say is, like Darlene alluded to, is that they can work very effective treatments these days. Hope you manage to keep up your own health and spirits under the circumstances, (yes, hard I know).

    Sending all the good thoughts and prayers for you and your wife, Tim. Take care.

    Diane and I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. This is going to take some time but we are very hopeful for a fast and full recovery. She only wishes to know where she can get a wig.......:)

    (And a maid to take care of me in her absence.........:))

    Diane, what a lovely name, tell her there are prayers and good wishes for you both. I'm sure she will come through fine.

    Oh Tim, so sorry, one thing after another. :(

    My prayers and thoughts will be with you and Diane. Hope you get the results back soon because waiting for it is awful.

    I couldn't even start to imagine or sympathize what you are going through. I only wish the best for your wife and that an employment position opens up for you. My prayers will be with you and I've already said one so ---- hopefully, the numbers (our prayers) will get through!

    About wigs... what's your budget? I have a few links I can pass on.

    Sorry to hear this news TimW, hoping Diane has good news on Monday as mentioned medical science has come on leaps and bounds of late, but as Rex says lets hope this is benign, had one scare myself a few years ago, ended up being a benign cyst.


    Swedish maid is it Tim ;)

    Tim, all our positive thoughts, vibes, and prayers are going your way. Hope all turns out negative. You are due some good luck.
     
  27. TimW

    TimW MajorGeeks Administrator - Jedi Malware Expert Staff Member

    She is thinking that if she has to have treatment that would destroy her hair, then maybe we should cut it all off and make a wig out of it first. :)

    Monday seems a long time away.....then wait for results that may not come till Thursday....

    Might not even have to go through the chemo, let's hope for that one :)
     
  29. TimW

    TimW MajorGeeks Administrator - Jedi Malware Expert Staff Member

    From what I can gather and postulate, this may be a case of removal of the tumor and then radiation therapy targeting the area cells just around the site. At least that is my hope.
     
  30. DavidGP

    DavidGP MajorGeeks Forum Administrator - Grand Pooh-Bah Staff Member

    Well lets hope this is the case and worse case scenario, Tim, we are all behind you and wishing I know for a positive result, you guys need some good fortune of late and hope this is one of those times.

    I too am sorry to hear of your trials. However, Alistair, a friend of mine at work was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 13 years ago and is still working. His wife was diagnosed with breast cancer nearly two years ago. She received treatment and has been back at work for a few months now. This isn't a comparison, more a message of hope. Stick in there, friend. Best of luck to you and your wife. May the road rise up to meet you and may the wind be always at your back.

    Every day is a gift, keep the faith and work at taking each day as it comes. Funny about the wig, while working with chemo patients I realized that our flaws are the things that truly make us unique and beautiful. Related my feelings, one day she stopped wearing it. Our thoughts and prayers for you together, hope springs eternal...

    Give Love

    Just a short update.......your prayers must be working. We went in for the biopsy today and the doctor told her that he thought the size of it was between a penny and a nickel .....not the half dollar that we had first been told.

    Now to wait on the results and see where we go from here.

    You all do not know how much it means to us to have your kind thoughts. :)

    Sorry, mate no idea how big any of those coins are. They could be anything!:-o But this is good news, I presume, and for this I redouble my best wishes to you both and add those of my family. Hope the results of the biopsy are favourable.

    They're about the size of one of your finger nails, and certainly smaller than a half dollar.

    That is great news, Tim! Here's hoping for more good news! :wine

    Adenocarcinoma ----- we will talk with the doctor on Thursday. He also wants to talk about a spot they think they saw on the right lung.
