The Bad News Thread

[metalskins]

So, my wife was having a lot of pain, as if she was having a kidney stone. She's had those in the past. Her dad wound up taking her to the ER last night, because one of us had to put our 3 year old to bed last night. She came home around 2:30 this morning - tired but OK. However, a CAT scan they took of her last night revealed a mass in her breast. She's trying to reassure me that this is normal for women in her age, and that her mother has a similar mass that wasn't cancerous, but I have to admit, I'm having a hard time focusing on work thinking about the possibility of my wife, my son's mom, having Cancer.

Dude stay strong i too always jump to conclusions. Battle what you know at this point. No need getting worked up about what ifs.

She will be fine!

Stay in there man, I am sorry to hear this news. God (not trying to get all religious here) will handle the things we as humans can't. If the Docs say there is no cancer than I'm sure it will be fine.

Thanks guys! Also not trying to get all religious, but sometimes, the devil loves more than anything to put doubts and fear in your mind, and it's sometimes a battle to let go of that stuff. Just whenever you hear about doctors finding a mass, you immediately go into "prepare for the worst" mode in your mind.

Thanks Chico! Seems like since she and I have gotten married, one of us has had to visit the ER at least once a year, and then we have to deal with the medical bills.

Hey bud. My wife had a mass too. Turned out to be nothing and it is pretty common. Good news is they found it now - whatever it is. She will be fine. Keep your head up. Been there numerous times with my wife. Absolutely terrible to think about your kid and the possibility of bad news. Good vibes and prayers brother.
