what we thought was some easy to remove non-spreading cancer has turned out to be quite the opposite. plus we found out we are 6 weeks pregnant. pregnancy means chemo is out which would be extremely effective for her cancer. now its just a crazy invasive intensive surgery and radiation. trying to balance the bad cancer with the blessing of another baby. every emotion in one, i dont know how to best support her. thanks.
 
Sending prayers to you and your family. Support her by being there 100%, ask what she needs a lot, I am a big believer in therapy - it has saved me from myself and benefitted out family.

Research the h*ll out of the kind she has been diagnosed with. Check up on what the doctors are telling you guys. Make sure she is getting the best care possible. Try to keep her (and dont you either) doom scroll the internet. Only read from medical sites or cancer.org types. Lots of garbage on the internet.

My experience with cancer is: it might get rough, some folks get real down...never give up.

F CANCER!

Man that's tough. Be praying for y'all :emoji_pray:
 
We will pray for you all! Be supportive and positive for her... when you need someone to vent to or support you find a friend or any member here that has been through something like this. I think most would lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on.

On man that’s tough news BD but will be praying for strength and the family.
Keep the faith and stay positive and optimistic.

I can't imagine what your going through.
My family will pray for you. Do your best to stay positive & support your wife in every way you can.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
