I want to thank everyone here for your support..
It is rough and from my understanding only to get rougher.
My wife had a CAT scan and a Bone Scan to see how far it has spread. It is a very Agressive Cancer, that started in her breast. We will know the results of those 2 test Wednesday the 5th..

So my friends I won't be on here as much, but will drop by when I get a chance. Right now I just had to get away. I know my focus should and is on my wife. I am just stressed.. so peace y'all and will hopefully chat with all yall soon..

Slim, my friend, you know that praying is not something I can do at this point in my life... but, you and your wife and family are heavy on my heart at this time. And I will ask my Dad to pray for all of you.

I am also hoping that your own medical situation has improved. You will need all the strength you have now. And your faith (and TRUST) must be stronger than ever.

If there is anything that I can do, please let me know.

WEll Some good news is the Bone scan and Cat scan has come back negative for metastises..

But on the bad side, it still needs some more testing but my wife's right aorta of her heart is enlarged, and can be adding to her weight loss, tiredness and pain, on top of her chronic pancreitis and gall bladder.. She will be having surgery monday to remove the breast's lump and the some of the lympnodes that have cancer..
So pray that the docs hand are blessed, so she don't get no nerve damage..

Thank all of y'all for yalls support..

Thanks for taking the time to give us an update.
I can't imagine what you are going through, and I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers, and think about you every day!
I really hope this surgery is a success, and that Angie begins to heal !!!

Slim, you know that if you need something that I can do, all you have to do is ask. I have been praying for your family and have had added your family to every prayer list belonging to prayer warrior I know of from one side of the U.S. to the other.

He is the same yesterday, today and forever and He is still on the throne.

My Wife had her surgery and I thought I would wait to give a update until we had the resultls in from the removal of the lump..

The test on the lump showed a Triple Negative class C Poorly Difreintiated Invasive Adeno Carcinoma. Naughtinham Grade 3.
It was all the way to the chest wall 4 centameters big..

Doesn't look like it went into the lympnodes, but the blood stream is not known. So if it is anywhere else in the body, it is too small to find..

She has another surgery the 1st of Dec, to get a port put in, and then she will start Radiation and Kemo. Just in case they missed somethin and the micro scopic crap.

I am not too happy with the Doc, she seems to be hiding somethin, or she is just not being clear..
Also the pain doc realy treated my wife badly at first, like she was some kinda drug user, then later apologized. But that scarred her.

I am thinking of contacting him myself and talking to him. Since I have a little more experience in dealing with pain docs and doc's in general.

She goes in the 1st and I go in the 2nd for some nerve blocks.

Thats the update

Sounds like some good news, Slim.... I think. I'm not UP on all this stuff. You need to stay after them, on ALL fronts! Make SURE they are being up front with you, no matter how bad the news might be.

BTW, I asked my Dad to pray for you and your wife. He's only ONE man, but he has had good results in the past. I will reinforce my request. If you believe in prayer, you can't do much better than this man. I truly believe he has a direct link.

But, there's no magic here. Much of it rests in your OWN belief and trust! I know when my Dad faced a similar situation, he would listen to the docs, then hit his knees in prayer. I hope, and believe, you are doing the same.

[my brother should have died as a child from a kidney disease that required dialysis when there were only 4 machines in the country. His prayers and that of his church were enough, I guess, cuz that SOB is still here to beat me in golf nearly evey time we play!]

BTW.... when I discussed your situation with my dad, he emphasized the concept of TRUST! Prayer is meaningless without TRUST! Some people think that God wants you to "believe" in him. But, I think belief is a shallow concept without TRUST! God wants us to TRUST him!

It is not your "belief" that is being tested right now.... but your TRUST.

Trust in YOUR Lord, but keep your "powder" dry. You KNOW what I mean!

Check those Docs, but don't put your trust in them. But, it's okay to PRAY for them. Fear serves no purpose here. Knowing your background, I can only say that it would empower your enemy. And I have MET your enemy, Slim.... and he is afraid of you. HE has no power over you.

Thanks for taking the time to update us, we are ALL interested. Those who pray are still praying, those of us who trust, are still trusting. And those who know, still know that His will will be done.
