I don't post much.......mostly a lurker. I know some of you on a personal level and others I know from years of conversation on this forum. Some of you know my story most don't. I lost my parents withing a ten month span when I was 21. It took me years to put the pieces back together but with the love of a fabulous woman and her family I finally felt God put me at peace and my life was going to play out like I always hoped it would. Over the last several months my wife has been suffering from fatigue and other flu like symptoms and slow a bulge in her neck started to appear. She went in several weeks ago and it tuns out there was a problem with her Thyroid. After a battery of tests and an ultra sound it was discovered there is a mass in her neck and a biopsy was ordered. We went in today and it was a very invasive and painful procedure for her. No answers, lots of questions and when the pathologist came in to make sure the samples were adaquet she looked at the nurse and asked "How old is she" in a tone that was less than comfortable to me. We won't have the results back for 3-5 days and that is just killing me. I got my wife home and got her in bed and have been sturring ever since. My nerves are shot and I just poured myself a glass of scotch. I can't get the "C" word out of my head. My wife and I are 36, have a 17 month old daughter and have been married for five years. I don't know if I could handle it if anything happend to her....I really don't. I've lost enough loved ones in my life. Please, if you believe in God pray for her. Perhaps I'm over reacting but this is bringing back some bad memmories and old feelings. I know it's premature but I'm totally freaking out. I can't express this to her as I don't want to add anymore stress to the situation. She tried to talk about the what if's today and I got angry.....not at her but just the thought. I'm scared, I don't know that I've ever felt real fear before. I just want to get in my truck and drive....a long drive to nowhere....if that makes any sense.
Not sure why I posted this here but I don't feel like talking to my friends or brother about my feelings on this....maybe because we don't know anything yet....I don't know......Please, just add her to your prayers if you say them. Her name is Michelle.
