Wife diagnosed with stage 4 cancer

[Blacktail]

Today was the worst day of my life and a day that will forever change my life.
my 41 year old healthy wife was diagnosed with strange 4 colon cancer that has spread to her lymph nodes. She had zero warning signs and the doctors said she has more than likely had it for several years. It’s not curable and can only be managed.

we have no idea how long she has. Being healthy will help but this is totally fucked up!
she is the nicest most caring person I’ve ever met and I’m totally devastated!

knowing you will not grow old with the person you love is the most horrible feeling I have ever felt!

Prayers your way brother

Dammit… That would be crushing news to hear about your loved one.

No bloody stools, no lethargy, no irregular constipation issues?

This very thing happened to my MIL. It started in her colon and then to her brain. Currently undergoing treatment.

Man I hope they can find something to do to extend her life. Shitty f’n news for sure. Sorry to hear.

No, absolutely zero signs. They said that when younger people get it and finally know they have it, it’s usually spread because they don’t screen under 50 unless you have family history.

No, it actually means more than you know! Just knowing people actually have compassion for someone they don’t know is awesome!
thank you very much!

 

[Ruthless]

Sorry to hear, brother. Cannot imagine how you feel. Life is cruel.

 

[MooseKnuckles]

I can't imagine how you feel, I'm always here if you need someone to talk to

Prayers are with you and your family.

Sorry to hear this man, my prayers for you and yours!

I get a cancer screening every other year and so far I been clean as my mother had cancer (yes beaten it 4 times!) and I wanted peace of mind. Also getting a colonoscopy this year as well. Do this to protect yourself and if something shows up in the screenings get it dealt with right away!

I can't put into words how sad I am for you and your wife. I can only imagine if I were in your shoes and even that brings tears to my eyes. Cherish each day you have together. Positive thoughts and best wishes for you both. Be her rock!

 

[stackdizzy]

Sad news bro, I am sorry to hear this!

 

[alfresco]

There are no words Blacktail, literally no words that can describe how you
feel now. I can't even imagine.

The time you spend together now will be the sweetest for both of you.
And nobody can take that away from you.

Like has been said, now is the time to be her rock. You are strong. You
will get through this, know that.

The suffering is the worst. Take care of yourselves and know we are all
here for you.

This will be the axel of your life.

 

[Hatchet]

This is horrible to hear brother. Saddens me to just read this.
I am truly sorry for what you two are going thru.

I lost my fiance years ago to an aggressive brain tumor. Nothing else can compare to this level of pain and helplessness in seeing the woman you love suffer through this. If there is anything I can do to help, please reach out. Prayers for you both, my brother.

Fuck man. Knowing what I know of you, I know you wish you were the one diagnosed instead.

If I can offer any advice, having lost multiple loved ones to cancer as well, be strong for her and make her time in life incredible, and vent/cry/get angry with trusted friends/here. There’s a certain measure of guilt she’s gonna feel knowing she’s eventually leaving you alone.

There’s no way around it, this is the worst kind of news. Be strong, brother, and you’re in my prayers.
