Maxman Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Original Post: When the oncologist calls and says this isn't cancer, yeah that is a good phone call! Nothing else that I have experienced on earth makes me happier than hearing that! That is all, have a good day. Update 05/12/16: Well after numerous tests and weeks and weeks of waiting it turns out that the first opinion was wrong. Lauren got her own 2nd opinion and they were able to do a biopsy this time. The biopsy failed the first time because of the location it was hard to get a sample. Unfortunately the biopsy came back confirming what we didn't want to hear. It is cancer. Surgery in two weeks. A few imaging tests next week. As of right now we don't know what the treatment plan will be, or even what kind of cancer it is. So we wait and we pray. She beat cancer in 2014 and we were really hoping to never have to worry about this again. She is strong and will fight and beat this, there is no doubt. We were just hoping to keep cancer in the rear view mirror but thank God for second opinions. Catching these things early is so critical. Thanks for listening.

I have another one, when the oncologist tells you your latest scan shows that your cancer is totally gone, thats also a great day and leaves you speechless. My personal best day Happy for you and your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Max, your wife is a rock star. Took it upon herself to get re-tested instead of accepting a flawed result. That takes intellect, intuition and a whole lot of courage to go with your gut. Wishing her a positive outcome with many more years of health which you both can spend together.

TJ Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 So sorry to hear this. My close friend is battling stage 3 breast cancer (she's had it for 5 yearsyears, but went undiagnosed because of dense breast tissue) She's had chemo #5 and will have the final one soon and surgery in July. Needless to say, the prognosis was guarded. This was the strongest chemo known and so far so good. Phil, I know your wife is going to beat this. My sincerest hopes for a full recovery!!
