I'm so glad to hear you are going on your 9th year! Congrats! I guess we won't know what stage it's at till they do a biopsy? It was a lot to take in yesterday and I couldn't remember anything.

Thanks! Yea anytime you need a pick up you let me know :gj:.One thing on the chemo stuff.Depending on which one(if any) they use it can be a butt kicker at first until your body adjusts.Tell him to let his doctor know if he has any bad side effects like dizzyness or feeling sick to stomach.They will give him something to stop that feeling.If he needs someone to talk to let me know ok gj:,sometimes its easier to ask certain questions

My dear asking a question like that doesnt even put him in the interesting club in my opinion :rolleye2:

It's one of the most difficult things to go through together....but....to do it "together" is way better than having to go it alone! And they have made such huge strides in curing cancer!

My husband and I have a couple that are very dear friends...and he went through testicular cancer about twelve years ago...had a massive tumor that had spread into other parts of the abdomen. They got it all cleaned out, and after the rounds of treatments, he was clean and fully recovered and is cancer free to this day.

And while it wasn't the same type, my hubby also had cancer and we went through his surgeries and treatments together. There were scary moments...and horribly tedious moments...and setbacks. But we held each other up through it all....stayed positive and did our best to keep a good sense of humor. He's also fully recovered and cancer-free to this day. (Nine years now, too!) And we're so much stronger and closer as a couple.

Going through it SUCKS. But if you keep your focus on the positives instead of the negatives, you'll both get through it faster than you'd imagine and come out the other side strong and healthy. :hug:

Sorry to hear about this. Hope all goes well and you guys will be my prayers.

Sorry to hear this Isis. BG has had a couple friends with this kind of cancer and everything turned out OK. One of them was over 10 years ago and he's fine.

BG has to ask though. Is the BF OK with you putting this on the world wide webb? When it comes to that area of the bod, men can be a leeetle funny about it. BG might be a leeetle po'd at his gf if she did this. He can't have people making fun of his perfect bod.:D


BG hopes it turns out OK.:gj::gj:

first of all cancer is NOT a death sentence.i went thru hodgins disease with my ex wife 18 years ago,she's healthy and well today.one of the most rewarding experiences was our involement with a cancer support group.feeling your "feelings" with a group of people who are/where you are at is a very powerful dynamic.i encourage you and your BF to seek out a group.

it may be premature to mention this now but as the years go by you may find this chapter of your life very rewarding and empowering,giving you tools that make life a bit easier to handle.i wish you both the best.

You are both going to be in my daily prayers.
