BC Husbands and Boyfriends Hangout

cowgirl,

Not exactly certain what you are saying and/or asking here??
"Gentlemen,
Asking for updates on your better halves and you guys!"

R U asking we men for updates on our better halves...which they may not have already expressed here? In my case (our case), I believe evilelf has already posted that she is finished with RADS and moving along very well. She is a real trooper! She even drove about 400+ miles to visit her mom just so her mom could visibly SEE how well she is--rather than hearing her say it on the phone.

We [evilelf & I and our 2 Schnauzers] even go for long walks up mountainsides and along our nearby stretch of lake often...just Sunday morning was the last time--as I live 180 miles away until I retire end of this year; yay! Our doggies love long walks as much as we do!

If mama is good, I am good. Remembering the old phrase, "If mama ain't happy, nobody's happy!" LOL Izzat the kind o' update(s) you are soliciting?

Ty-K

My wife managed to contract a chest cold in the middle of June and now has a deeper voice than me! I don't know if I mentioned it, but she had some weird growth removed from her arm that the doctor said usually only old people get. Aside from that, most all is well, but she better get back to 100% because we leave for vacation Thursday afternoon!

Hi Cowgirl, sorry I've been missing but my computer was down. I never got around to doing the beach but did the ct scan and all is clear. Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Now just the rest of the tests to get through.
Funny about the growth on your wife's arm Shemp as I keep getting all these little skin tags. Never ever had them before. My body thinks it's old cos of the lack of estrogen I think lol.
Hi Carrie, how you doing? That was my best Joey impersonation from friends

Is there a better thread to discuss?
My wife is two years into reoccurance. BC is speading, not in a major organ. Major discomforts. I cannot bring myself to discuss death with her or anyone else.

Hi guys it's Alex. Yeap, still don't have my own account...
Joanna is doing great and hope all of you are too.
Wish you all a happy and Healthy summer!!!

waaaaahhhh I want to go too Mags !
Alex it is so nice to hear from you and I am so glad
Joanna is doing good

(((((((Joanna&Alex))))))))

Carrie

I just found this thread! My name is Dave, and my wife Ruth was diagnosed in 2003. She went through chemo, a lumpectomy and then a mastectomy the same year. In 2004, they took her other breast, as a precaution. In 2005, she was diagnosed with bc in her spine, ribs, skull and pelvis. This May, it was discovered in her left femur, an additional rib, and in her left lung. Needless to say that was quite discouraging.

For me, this has been an emotional rollercoaster, to say the least. There have been times when I did not think she was going to make it through the week. There have been times when it seemed she had no health issues (although that has been a while). I never knew what an anxiety attack was before 2003. Now, they are commonplace.

A couple of things that gives us strength is our Faith and our family (church, work, friends and blood). This place is a good resource to find voices that have gone (and who are going) through what we are living with. I place you all in the friends column.

Dave,
Glad you came here! Give Ruth a hug for us. Feel free to cuss and discuss your feelings here.

God knows I have!

Oh Mags that orchid is so beautiful
So how are the test going lady. I pray the results are
NED NED NED. I hate waiting for test results so I can
only imagine how nerve racking it is for you, Denise and
Cowgirl.

I haven't seen the guys posting here too much lately , but that is a good thing it means life is moving along and no bumps in the road! I do miss them though.

Mags I think I caught your goldfish syndrome
I totally missed my 6 month on the 12th
My surgeons office called me an hr after my appt. and rescheduled with me for the 26th geez I so forgot all
about it!

Hugs,
Carrie

Mags thanks for the orchid!

Carrie has her 6 month today Mags, she just called me to say she did not forget this time!

Let's pray she hears, ATTa Girl!

Mags I love baby pix! Can't wait to see them!

Shemp, btw its great that you are here supporting your wife, but mostly yourself..wish my DH would, he has no one to chat with and doesn't do `puters...PS its been 2 yrs since DX and I still put off my Dr appt...guess none of us like them..thanks for reminding me to call for Sept appt too....lol

Well, that's obviously not the news we all hoped to hear for you, but at the same time, is it okay to say at least it's ledgey and ropey? Some people can't buy a break. My wife also had another growth removed this spring, but it was benign. She's like a human petri dish of genetic malfunctions. She thought it was really romantic when I said that to her. I told her to knock it off, no more experimenting to see how you can grow goofy cells. I figure that's a solid long-term strategy.

Back to you though... knock it off with growing funky cells! I think all of us will give you full permission to whine all you want through the 3rd. Then after the 3rd, you're going to have to buck up after you get that report back that says it's benign, fair enough?

Shemp Great advise as always! Carrie any lump is a CRAP and an invitation to a whine fest!

I am praying for B9!

Hola Guys I've been around awhile just fade in and out of this site. I am the caregiver of my wife who was dx'd with stage 3a in march of 2004. She went through a double mastectomy, 6 rounds of AT and 35 rad txs. Life was hard and now its getting better. I hope to maybe help some others through what I and others of us on here have/are going through as we help our loved ones.
I chat occasionally-take heat froma small minority of the ladies in there for chatting, but meet me in the room and saw hi sometime!
