Hi all,
Having a panic attack,I didn't think ca could get to me any more having survived st 3 colon for 8 yrs. My wife has just had a series of ultrasounds that have found a 40mm thickening in the endometrium. Her doctor has suggested two causes ,endometrial displaysia ,treatable by a hysterectamy or endometrial cancer and all the options that go with it. I really don't know what I'm posting for ,I just can't stand the thought of my darling wife having to tread the same road that I have. I guess that we will just have to see what tests show and do what needs to be done, just the possibilities of what might be makes me so sad. Thanks for listening,Ron.

    Ron,

    We'll hold you and your wife up in our prayers and thoughts that this is nothing more than a remedy with a hysterectomy. You know all too well the kind of support she needs now to help ease her fears.

    Let us know how she is doing. We all hope for the best outcome.

    Okay Ron,

    Time to pay her back for all she gave and helped you as you dealt with the dragon. Things will be fine and your post really hit me about how much you respect and love her. Just keep walking that talk and both of you will be fine. My hugs, kisses and thoughts are with you both honey.

    Ron -

    Two silver linings here:

    1. It could very well be something benign (as benign as endometrial displaysia is)

    2. If, Heaven forbid, she does have to walk the road you did, you can bethere to help her and lend your special insight and a level of empathy that few survivors are able to experience on a daily basis.

    Keeping you and your wife in my thoughts and prayers.

    Thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts and concern. Susan will see a gyno next week. Her doctor rang and made the appointment(the difference between one week and several). The gyno has since rung and made sure that susan will keep the appointment. As usual I'm getting "don't worry ,it's nothing" ,but I won't relax until we know what we are dealing with. Once again ,thanks to everyone ,I know you care and it makes a difference,Ron.

    Hi Ron...as hard as it may be right now, try to stay positive and anticipate favorable results. Sponge Bob was absolutely right. I hope all works out well for you and your wife. It's obvious from your post that you love her very much. Take care. Jimmy

    Hi Ron and Susan.

    Sorry I'm late to this post. I wanted to extend my prayers and positive vibes to you both. Try not to get too worried before all the information is in.

    Just this past week, my mother had a scare with her mammogram. They told her she should see a breast surgeon. She didn't ask too many questions, and the report was in medical mumbo jumbo. We had her films read by a Radiologist friend and it turned out to be nothing. Unfortunately, my mom put herself through a lot of worry. She didn't tell us right away. She didn't want to worry anyone! So she kept it a secret for a few weeks. Mind you, her sister died of breast cancer.

    My point, try to relax. Get the information. Then react.

    You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

    Love,

    Barb
