Have you talked with your wife's doctor regarding these results? How is she feeling?

I look forward to hearing from you again.

Hello Teresa. Thank you readying my text. My wife has a Conference call this Thursday 10-23-25 on her biopsy procedures. And on Monday 10-27-25 she is having a biopsy's surgery. As for my wife we both pray that it comes back negative. And she is felling good. But she is still scared. Have a blessed night.

Hello Danny, it must be very frustrating for you and your wife with so much uncertainty. I have my first chemo session tomorrow, and I start on Monday ..3 months of radiotherapy 5 days a weeks. I’m not looking forward to this, and its effects it may well have on my brain and cognitive functions.
So, I understand, and am also scared. My biggest decision has been deciding to receive this treatment or go without it. Because although I have lymph nodes in my groin, they are not hurting and I have no physical effects so far from them being present in my body. In saying this they have metastaticized so the oncologist specialist are positive cancer will spread to other organs.
The decision to accept chemo has not been easy, as I live alone and know I will become quite ill from the treatment.
On a positive note I now have a place through this platform to discuss my feelings and uncertainty. So please keep commenting and posting on your wife’s condition and outcomes. Personally I have found this to be extremely helpful to put a voice or journal my thoughts and listen to others who have similar concerns.
It is sad news for your wife, and your concern is naturally very worrying for you. It’s so difficult to keep positive and brave. To be the best support you can you must look after yourself and also be kind to your own psychological needs. Keep posting.

Helli @danny5gs,

I hope you will post again after your wife's conference call on Thursday with any questions and with an update. She has been dealing with various cancers and I know how stressful the thought of another recurrence can be.

I hope that all goes well and please post again.

Hello @susan38
I appreciate you posting about your upcoming treatments. It sounds like you have given this a lot of thought and consideration and I wish you well.

Will you continue to post updates as you go through this process?

Yes I will.as it’s just beginning I think it’s important to document some of the frustrations, illness, nauseation, burning skin, memory loss, bladder loss, difficulty finding appropriate incontinence underclothes, bulky and drying out of private parts, due to the not so well fitting baby nappies,so to speak.
Already my experience in this arena has been challenging. I’ve received no guidance, only through my own research, and a lot of lost money from buying totally inappropriate personal wear, either too large, too tight, too bulky, and when the trap door opens, insuffient holding of spent urine. The undies themselves become so heavy, and still leak/run/soak through other clothes. Dealing with warm urine on a night out when all ur bottom half is soaking wet is no fun. Being inventive in dealing with it surpasses the best of ceo management skills.😊

@susan38 Good after noon Susan. Hoping all is well on your chemo and radiotherapy. Our prays are with you to a quick recovery. As for my Annette her conference call had a set back. Because her potassium level was low 2.8. And it has to be 3.2 for the surgery. Her doctor put in a prescription for her to take two times a day. And have a blood Saturday to see if it’s ok for the surgery. Hoping all goes well. Have a blessed day.

Hello To Teresa and Susan.
Update on my wife Annette. Her blood test results for her potassium is 4.4. And she is good for her biopsy Monday.

@danny5gs I hope everything goes well with your wife today. Please let us know how it goes?

Hello Tomrennie/Susan/Taresa.
Update on my wife. She went in at 2:40 pm. She out of surgery and in the recovery room at 3:30 pm. She has pain and feels uncomfortable.
Long day for her. Her spirit is strong. The lord will heal and guide her the rest of the way. Thank you for the support.
