Seen the oncologist today. She does scans next week and starts her first chemo on the 30th. These will be weekly for approx 5 months.

We are both staying positive as is the oncologist.

Thanks for all the support from everyone here on SMF

Prayers sent.
My wife had stage 2, treatments were with chemo for 16 weeks. When the surgery was done, no tumor was present. The chemo done it’s job.
Then 33 days of radiation and she has no signs of cancer.
Keep positive, your wife will beat this thing.

I met a guy, in the chemo clinic, that had been fighting lung cancer for years.... A new chemo drug was tried... In 3 months, he was cancer free... New stuff comes along daily... That was almost 3 years ago...
It's a great age we live in...

Seen the surgeon today. Pathology report showed 3 of the 19 lymph nodes had cancer, she is at a stage 2. Her prognosis is good. Oncologist will decide how much chemo she will need either thru IV port or pills, radiation will be after she heals from the tumor removal.

Thanks everyone for your prayers and support, it helped bunches.

Sorry to hear this sort of news.
My sister had cancer in most of her lymph nodes, she went to Stanford med. center in CA and had chemo treatments and the lymph nodes removed that was 30+ years ago. She has been cancer free and healthy ever since thank God.
I'll say a few prayers that your wife has the same outcome.
If your wife would like to speak with my sister I'm sure that she would be more than happy to speak with her.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Thanks everyone.

Couple women here in the resort have had double mastectomy's that are doing great.

Thank you all again from both of us.

Wish you both luck and a speedy recovery (like pregnancy, this truly effects both members).

Though this may not be the best place to post it, there is a study out there that looked at frequently eating smoked meats and the impact on cancers. It was not favorable for our hobby unfortunately (as is often the case when confirmation bias is sought). While I would always advocate for moderation with anything (even too much water is detrimental), when in treatment or recovery for cancer I might suggest she stay further away from the smoke and have the meat be a less frequent treat. I'm not trying to be preachy and sorry if it comes off that way. Just trying to give a bit of advice that comes from a knowledge base I have.
Again, best of luck to you both.
