Husband's Dana Farber Appointment
He finally has his appointment with Dana Farber with a 'Dr. Lin'? Anyone heard of him?? Anyway, how I wish it was much sooner, but we'll deal. The good news is that his doctor wanted him to take a small break before starting a new treatment anyway. I am so excited to go and to know we are not out of options yet, so the purpose is solely to get a second opinion about the next plan of action. We also want to see what they suggest because we do have a few options planned. I am floating on a cloud today, I feel so good about moving forward down a different path. I know we are all loved here and that people love us in our lives, so nothing I can say is out of the norm, but this man is my Knight In Shining Armor. He is everything I ever dreamed a husband should be and I tell him daily that I am so blessed to be his wife, that I am glad that if he was going to get cancer I am the one who will see him through. The only way I will be able to handle what comes is to know we have done everything we could. On June 19, we will be going for a 'third' opinion, not that I want opinions until we hear what we want to hear, for that day may never come. That appointment is with another great Oncologist here in 'Little Rhody' and again, to see if our course of action is where we need to go with this. Girls, now more than ever we need your prayers and words of encouragement. Am I doing all I can be doing? What else can I do? If this was you, what would you expect from me? He says I could not be doing any better with his treatment, but I am so lost, so very very lost. Sometimes I can hear myself screaming inside, but nothing comes out. I thank you in advance for your replies, I can not do this without you Angels. Also, I need a follow up on my mammogram on June 21 and although it is never a good time to be sick, I find that I am having racing thoughts about my health, for something is going on with me. I promise not to fret about my mammogram until we discuss results, I do not worry much anymore about the 'what if's'...HELP!!....>>Waiting For A Miracle>>Believe51....(Marie G)
