Last Monday we went to hospital for my wife to have cancer surgery . When the surgery was over the doctor came out smiled and told me he got it all and we were cancer free . Well today we went back for post-op check and then told us he was wrong we still have a very agressive cancer . So now we have to get a new game plan . That news hit like a brick wall as we had breathing a sigh of relief after being told he got all the cancer out . Then to top that was told one of my health insurances was not accepted by doctor and one other medical facility . And I am in the middle of selling and buying another house . Which way is up ?????????
Tough news. Do you have other family support around to help you both stay strong? My prayers are with you and yours. MarkO
Mark we have 2 sons but they I am afraid will not be a lot of help , for emotional reasons . We have a couple of good friends to talk with but they too have their own problems and I can't ask them for much help . So I just gotta stand tough and hold this weight on my shoulders .
Mike - I will say a little prayer for your wife, you and your sons tonight. We have a good friend that had an agressive bone cancer and he is in remission. Good things happen to those that want to fight and have a smile. Don't forget to smile at the good things. You need to focus on them now.
Mike, I cannot imagine what you both are currently going through. Although I'm not much on the prayer thing, I will nevertheless send some positive vibes your way. There is always a way, the path is difficult to find sometimes, but you will find it.
I am sure sorry to hear about anyone with this tough of a situation, let alone a Buick brother. I will offer prayers and send you my best wishes. Just because the doctor does not accept your insurance, can't you file the claims with the insurance company yourself? I would be real disappointed if the doctor's office wouldn't work with you on the timing to get them paid.
How are you and the Wife doing? I am guilty of not keeping youns in my prayers as much as I should. But today I am making a special point to keep you both in my prayers. May you have a peaceful day!
Our Lord is the Great Physician and prayers are lifted up for your wife and family! He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings and hears our prayers. May Christ comfort and provide strength for you at this difficult time. Lean on the rock of Jesus Christ.
Thanks guys , much appreciated . We went to see two oncologists last week and have to see another doctor next Monday and then back to surgeon to schedule next surgery of at least two more needed . Looks like a rough bumpy road ahead . We plan to smooth it out though and ride in style .
Mike, I've been through what you are facing. Sounds like you have the right idea about finding a doctor you are both comfortable with. I know that makes a difference. Take it one day at a time, & know that I and others will be praying for your family. Scott
Prayers for you and your family Mike. And remember, God's shoulders are much stronger than yours, so let him carry the load so you can focus on the care of your family.
Mike, I am so sorry I missed this thread. Please know Diana and yourself are in our thoughts & prayers. Beth
I hear this type of story way to often these days. I will keep you and your family in my thougts and prayers. God Bless, Mark
Mike: Situation sucks. My wife and I have been going through treatments, most of which have been pretty effective, for about a year and a half now. At first it is definitely overwhelming, with lot's to learn, an insane amount of information coming at you all at once, hugely important decisions to be made with what feels like damn little information and the rest of your life has to go on all at the same time. People seem to tell me pretty often to remember to take care of the caretaker, so I'll pass that on to you. If you feel like you need to talk to someone that truly understands, feel free to drop me a note or PM me. Don't feel like I already have enough to worry about. Shared loads are a lot easier to handle.
