Worried about DH, T&P needed (long)

MikesGirl22 · January 2013

Please keep my husband in your thoughts this week. He has a large lump about the size of a baseball on his shoulder that we were told by our primary last summer was an inflamed bursa and could be left alone if not causing any issues, or he could have it drained. It started causing pain/discomfort in early December so he made an appointment with the orthopedist to have it drained. The ortho said it is not fluid, its a solid mass that's "probably" benign. He was sent for an MRI which we learned on Friday was inconclusive and he has to go for another one this time with dye injected. The ortho also said he can't really do much to help him because the problem isnt really bone or joint related so he is referring him to an oncologist, just to be safe. He also said he should probably have it removed no matter what the results are, so we are looking at surgery. Follow up MRI is on Wednesday at 3, the results will be forwarded to the oncologist and we will go from there.

I am freaking out. I'm trying so hard not to worry until we know there is something to worry about but I just cant help it. Its just so scary when you start hearing things associated with cancer. My husband is my best friend and I dont know what I would do without him. Ive been crying and praying and I'm so sad. I look at my daughter and I just want to break down. She absolutely adores her daddy and I dont want her or this new baby coming to have to grow up without him. He says he doesnt think theres anything to worry about and I'm not getting rid of him that easy. I just want this to all be over and taken care of so we can forget about it and focus on the new baby.

Sounds very scary. Thoughts and prayers going your way. Try to stay positive though. It could be nothing and hopefully all this worry is for naught.

I'm so sorry you and your husband are going through this, especially with a baby on the way! Sending you thoughts and prayers that everything is fine and you get the results back quickly.

T&P's that all test come back great for your husband. Things like this can be so scary. My hubby had a scare similar to this last year w/ something near his jaw/glands. They doc's freaked us out but it came back all clear/benign. Try to take it easy and not stress too much- not good for you or the baby.

I'm so sorry you and your husband are going through this. I can't even imagine. I would feel the same way as you. I love my husband so much, I can't imagine anything happening to him. Thoughts, prayers, positive vibes, etc. that you guys get good news asap.

I hope everything turns out ok. FWIW, my husband had a similar mass the size of a baseball at the base of his spine, pressing against his spinal cord. It was very scary, but his dr. assured us that the vast majority of the time, these kinds of masses are benign, and can be removed easily. Sure enough, my husbands was benign, and he had it surgically removed, piece of cake...went home the same day.I'm sorry you have to deal with the stress of this though:( Not fun.

I'm so sorry to hear you and your H are going through this and dealing with a misdiagnosis. I can't imagine how difficult that must be. I hope everything goes well, that it is benign, and that the surgery doesn't take long to recover from. Thoughts are with you, please keep us updated! ((hugs))

Thoughts and prayers sent your way for good news on DH. My DH has the same sounding lump on his shoulder and was told it was nothing. I can only pray you get the same result.
