When will you know what type of cancer it is? Sorry to hear, what a downer reality to have to deal with again. Have you considered a third opinion between now and the scheduled surgery?

Mike135 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Sorry to hear. Good luck and best wishes. Been through the same recently with a family member. Sucks to say the least. Seems everyone will be affected by cancer multiple times throughout life. Almost like a fact of life nowadays. Whether it's family, friends or themselves. Remember thinking plenty of times I would've been lucky if it was me who had to deal with cancer instead of witnessing a loved one go through it. Hope it turns out well.

All I have for you beloved is Proverbs 3 vs 5-7 . And if I might also add an encouraging thought. We prayed in 2014 and experienced victory, and we will do so again! 26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? James 5:16Living Bible (TLB) 16 Admit your faults to one another and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous man has great power and wonderful results.

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. Sorry to hear that, man, that sucks.

She has surgery in two weeks, then she will get a full pathology report. After that comes the treatment plan. If there are concerns there then obviously another opinion would come in to play. But we did a lot of work the first time around and pulled a lot of strings, so we are pretty happy with the Oncologist in charge.

Hang in there my friend! Thanks. This is kind of random but things like this do change your perspective. I have been on this kick to redo our patio outside. We have a raised patio that I did over 10 years ago and the wall needs to be redone, the pavers need to be redone. I wouldn't put out the outdoor chairs because I was like I am doing this. It was all I was reading about and getting quotes on (it was expensive to have someone do it). The day after we found out about Lauren's cancer we were in Lowe's. Bought an outdoor carpet that covers a lot of the patio. Uneven pavers and some weeds no longer really occupy any time in my brain. Saved a lot of money in the process $120 carpet is cheaper than a $10,000 project LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
