My wife, who is 32 years old found out she has cancer. WE found this out a day after we found out she was not pregnant ( 2 test and her body said she was). I guess the latter is the good part as I don't know what would happen then.

She found out she had cancer from her dentist. They removed a wisdom tooth, actually more then one, that had started moving to the inside from her mouth being too small. (Cav can probably explain this better then I can) When the oral surgeon removed the teeth he noticed a spot on her tongue next to where the worse tooth was. He had her come back in after a week on antibiotics to see if it would heal and when it did not he set her up for a biopsy.

We are now waiting for him to call us with a specialist that will handle it on the tongue. He mentioned he might send us to one in Seattle if our insurance will accept it. We do not know how invasive it is yet.

I will try to update.

Tom,
Know that your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I can honestly say that I know how you feel. My wife was diagnosed about a year ago. She went through the radiation with flying colors and is now doing very well. There have been so many major advances in the treatment of cancer that are nothing short of miraculous. The important thing is to be there for each other.
 
Tom,

So sorry to hear about this. We will pray for your wife.

I will share a story about my sister. She was 37 or so (about 4 years ago) and was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a mammogram and biopsy done and had 2nd opinion too. She was scheduled for series of treatment shortly after. After hearing of it, I sent her a RELIC statue of St. Peregrine (patron Saint of cancer patients). She said, she felt a strong energy the very first time she touched the relic statue. A few weeks later she had another test and there is no more sign of cancer! The statue since been passed (loaned) to 2 more friends of hers and both are now cancer free. The statue is going back to the Philippines (to my family), otherwise I would lend it to you.

I am not forcing this upon you, but if you are interested, I would like to offer you a RELIC pendant for your wife. It is already blessed but won't hurt if you have it blessed again. Send me your mailing address and I'll send it tomorrow if you want it.
 
Tom,
My prayers go out for you and your wife. As stated previously, great strides have been made in the treatment of cancer and there is a world of research going on all the time on new and better treatments. My only suggestion would be to find the best Doctor/Cancer center and go there. You might also want to check out M D Anderson here in Houston at mdanderson.org
 
Praying for you both - and you let me know if I can do anything at all for you. I mean it - don't be a stranger. PM me if you want more contact info.
 
Hang in there, Tom.

"Worry" accomplishes nothing - wouldn't it be nice if we COULD control it.

Our prayers will be with your family.
 
Tom,both you and your wife will be in our thoughts,my wife is a cancer survior had a double mastectomy 1 1/2 years ago and today is cancer free. Todays medicine is so much better than just 10 years ago keep your chin up and anything we can help with just let us know.
 
Tom,
Kathryn and I are so sorry to hear of your news. You will be in out prayers.
I'll second what Monty said about MD Anderson here in HOuston. I was diagnosed with Leukemia in 1983 and told to wait until I needed to do something. In 1993 I needed to do something and went to MD Anderson. After 7+ years,and 4 different chemo regimes I am happy to say that I have been cancer free for over 6 years. Bone marrow tests and Chemo ain't fun but it beats the alternative. Great support, great doctors, and lot's of prayer to guide them, does wonders.
You and yours are special and loved by God and all on this forum,
Vern
 
Tom, hang in there, you & wife are in our prayers. Consider the Texas Medical Center here in Houston. They have everything you would need with the best personel, and work miracles everyday.
 
Wow... Heavy blows from both sides! My wife went thru the baby part, in fact we tried for 3 years and lost quite a few times... [V] (Very hard times for us, but we now have four children so we figured it out!)

As for the cancer, our prayers will be held for your wife as well as you. It's a heavy blow, but it can be beat back. With God, all things are possiable!
 
Tom, I walked the same path three years ago with my sweetie as you are going to embark on now. Keep a positive attitude. Regardless of how tough the situation or treatments are, remember she is looking to you for strength so keep the faith!
 
Tom, I beat a rare variant of lung cancer a couple of years ago, so I have a small idea of how you feel right now. It is fortunate that the wisdom teeth had to be removed so that the dentist made the diagnosis early.

I am PM'ing you my numbers. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is certainly not my field, but I will be more than willing to be an information source for you if you want.
