I've seen pain blocking, but nothing about chemo-therapy in case it did get into the blood stream. I would have expected that.

Thank you for the update. You are both in my thoughts and prayers every day.

Aw, Slimland. My heart goes out to you, your wife, and loved ones. It is a terrible thing to have to go through. There are so many questions with so few answers.

Please know that we are here for you and praying for your wife's healing and strength to carry you all through.

Just this past friday Angie seen her doc, well come around 5pm they called the house and asked her to come in monday cause the doc wanted to talk to her again.

The doc said she wouldn't be able to sleep unless she told Angie the whole truth. But she wanted to get other doctors opinions on the matter before she told Angie..
So here is the news..

She is going to have to get a Masectomy, They couldn't get all the cancer out cause it was too close to her chest wall, and they think it went, and said more than likely it went into her blood stream, and hasn't found a place to matastisise yet.. It is possible that it could be in her uteris on the inside where the cat scan cant see.

So she will have a masectomy, and some rigoris Chemo, and Radiation..

The doc said if she don't have a masectomy, then after chemo there is a 90% chance of it returning, and if it does it will be resistant to chemo and she might live 5 years if she is lucky.

If she choosed no chemo or anything, still maybe 5 years.

If she goes with the plan then I think it is more of a 50\50..

Hang in there. My mother had a mastectomy to remove breast cancer about 10 years ago. Chemo and radiation. It was a rough time, but she is a survivor. Keep the faith and know you all are in our prayers.

Well a very short update.

My wife is not doing any better, the cancer is in her bloodstream and I swear the doctors she is seeing are trying to kill her.
They have not told us the truth on anything, we found this out by getting her medical records. So now we are in the process of trying to get her on SSI and Medicaid, so I can take her some where else.
Even my Surgeon whom I trust completly told me to get her out of there after hearing what was done and said..
Without going into great detail and taking all night to explain, let me just say that it looks like it has spread to her uterus and possibly may become multiple myloma; which her dad died from when he was 42 back in 1995.
The question is now is there time before it cant be controlled?
The kemo was supposed to start monday and every 2 weeks after if she could handle it. But they scheduled her for 4 times a week and that alone will kill her. So after she's on medicade then I will take her to Joe Arrington here in Lubbock, and my surgeon will be her doc.


Thanks for the emails and sorry I couldn't answer fast enough, sometimes I just don't want to talk.

Slimland

Wallace, we love you, man. Please call on one of us out here close if you need anything we can provide. I understand about not wanting to talk sometimes. I'm the same way. I can't imagine that it would take so long to get her on medicaid. I am praying vigilantly for you and your family, too, along with the others here. I miss you and look forward to the day that you feel like talking again...:block:
