Throw a prayer our way

[davek]

Sorry, I have been doing a lot of traveling for work lately and have not had enough time to be on FBBO much - just saw this thread. Having said that, this is one of the more important threads to reply to.

Prayers sent for you, your family and especially your wife.

Keep positive, but ask questions, write stuff down and research! Search the internet about various symptoms, issues and potential causes. If you think something has merit, engage the doctor with questions. Besides being on your wife's side, the next best thing you can do is be her advocate with the doctors. Good luck and hang in there - we are all pulling for you...

I agree ask about everything even if it sounds dumb.Write it down and take it with you. It helps, Doctors dont always tell you everything the more you know the more you can do about it. God Bless

Always be pro-active about who works on you. Get the best you can find. I've had 15 surgeries in the last 20 years. If I had to travel to the Mayo-Clinic for proper care.......


God Bless, and best wishes.

I pray your wife has some sort of other issue that is readily treatable. If the worse comes to play I'm very sure you will meet it head on and be the best and most supportive husband.
The true test of unconditional love is not when all is going well and a couple is young and care free.
Its often at the most trying times in life experiences. Now may be that time.
Often i hear people describe married life as 50/50. I can assure anyone its not always the case.
A true testament to love and devotion can be during illness. True intimacy may not be when you desire your wife but when you see her in the most unflattering way possible. When you have to help bathe her and help with her daily hygiene.
A true man as yourself will rise to that occasion. A self centered man will run away.
She may snap or be irritable towards you, its the illness, the pain, the feeling of helplessness that comes with a disease such as cancer. Do your best.
Get your rest when you can. Try and eat well and when someone is visiting.
if your up for it take a walk, workout. Stay healthy .
My own experiences have made me grow. It made me see people in different lights
You'll find out who your friends are, who you can depend on and who not . Be positive but be prepared.
God bless and my best to you and her.

First off I want to thanks everyone again for the prayer, damn what anyone says that **** works!

Now on to an update, Lauren is feeling better, not 100% yet but we should know exactly what we’re dealing with when we get results of Thursday’s tests. Doc basically gave us the all clear on the dreaded C word! Which is great news obviously and like my friend Mario said prayer is powerful and I owe a lot to you gentlemen. Everyone who responded here and sent me private messages, again thank you! We owe ya

 

[Ironbuilt]

So happy to hear the Doc ruled out the ever dreaded "C" word. She will remain in my prayers. Please keep us updated as to the test results.

I had to take my wife Lauren to the ER last night, pains so bad in her stomach I had to carry her into the car. CT scan shows free liquid sitting in her stomach. Which the dr said it is usually caused by some sort of cancer (ovarian, kidney etc) but won’t know for sure until we get the stomach biopsy done tomorrow. If you have a chance to include us in your prayers we would be forever grateful.

Latest results came back normal, that was for pancreas, gall bladder and liver. Still not sure what the hell is going on, we’re going to a new doctor.

 

[Budnicks]

hope for the best

 

[funknut]

Sounds like even though you don't have a diagnosis you are at least able to rule out some of the scariest possibilities.

Good luck with the new doc, hope you get some answers soon.

 

[Mike67]

Glad to hear those results.
I definitely would look for a different MD, may need a female specialist. A lot of plumbing that can cause a lot of pain. Wife had cyst on her ovaries and I thought she was going to die, the idiots at the ER sent her home saying it was gas, took her to another hospital that said she could have gone into septic shock of we would have listened.
We'll keep praying!
