Well today was the day we have been dreading. Thankfully everything was okay with the baby and it's measuring right along but we got a terrible phone call. It is official that my husband has cancer. He is going in for surgery tomorrow at 22years old for inguinal lymph node dissection. He has Hodgkin's Lymphoma and will be starting treatments shortly after. The also believe that the cells have moved to his testicles and they will be scanned as well as the rest of his body Dec 1st for spreading.
We could really use some thoughts and prayers right now. I am stressed and worried. He is active duty army and they will be releasing him from the military early due to the disease. Which means on Christmas day, we will have to up and relocate to PA that is 8 hours away. Praying that this is a blessing in disguise and I know the Lord won't give us more than we can handle.
Thank you ladies! I really just needed to get this off my chest. I feel like everything is caving in.
Re: could use some thoughts and prayers.
I started crying just reading this.
Im so sorry that so much is being loaded on you right now. It must feel so overwhelming. It sounds like your husband is young and healthy and will be able to fight this hard.
My thoughts and prayers are definitely with you. Come talk to us ladies any time you need to, that is what we are here for.
xoxo
Sending you T, P, and warm wishes!
My DH's dad and aunt both had lymphoma and did great with some radiation, if that gives you any comfort at all! They have both been clear for a few years now.
Do you have any family or friends in PA?
Please take care, and know we are all here for you.
