Well... the wife has a lump in her breast, went to the Dr. on Tuesday, they did 2 mamograms and an ultrasound, found a 3 cm growth. Did a biopsy at that time.

They told her the results wouldn't be available until Friday, talk about Pucker factor. I caught the wife last night looking at horrible pictures of breast cancer damage. It didn't matter what I told her, she was stressed to the max.

We got a call from the nurse today, turns out it's benign, some sort of fibro- something. Truth is as soon as she heard it wasn't cancer she tuned out. So now we've got a new lease on life and intend to make the best of it.

If you've never been in this situation, you can't imagine the thoughts that go through ones head. IE, what can we do to maximize life until the end? I say, the hell with it, let's maximize life EACH AND EVERYDAY!

One life!

Live it!

Pep04 · 23 July 2010, 09:42 AM

WOW Chris. I feel for you. Congratulations to you and your wife that it was benign. But what a hell of a few days you had there.

Thank God everything is going to be fine. I had a biopsy done 2 weeks and I'm still waiting for mine.

Pep04 · 23 July 2010, 09:43 AM

Buy her a new Rolex to celebrate!!!!!

Great news!
So glad she'll be ok.

Amen to that - SO glad to hear your wife and family are ok. I try to cherish every day as corny as it sounds - my fiance and I never go to bed mad at each other either!

I am so happy for you that your wife is ok. Especially if you have any kids. Guys were not meant to be sole caregivers to children

Pep04, I hope yours turns out the same, Benign

I'm going to get another beer.

Great news.

My wife is a 3 year surviver.

Driving my sister to chemo tomorrow, she'll be a surviver too.

That is good to hear. Be good today.

TheVTCGuy · 23 July 2010, 11:51 AM

That is GREAT news, and I can relate. 6 months ago they told me it was "50-50" I had prostate cancer. Well, it's NOT! :)

rsg · 23 July 2010, 01:09 PM

Glad to hear she is okay. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer a few years back, all good now.
Live the life of your dreams because if you don't someone else will.

Saxon007 · 23 July 2010, 01:41 PM

I'm glad your wife got good news.

Give her some flowers tomorrow. And at least one big hug everyday.

Foneguy · 23 July 2010, 08:43 PM

Glad it was good news Bro !!!
Give her a kiss and tell her you love her 27 more times today !!!!!

axxeman01 · 23 July 2010, 11:46 PM

Thanks for the good wishes all! And Pep, best of luck with yours, 2 weeks must be excruciating.
