Cancer Support

It's hard to put into words just how much a life changes on the words, "We found a carcinoma"

My wife, after diagnosis, wasn't prescribed any anti anxiety meds so we ended up with two stays in the hospital due to her stress level feeding on itself. Finally, I had her surgeon issue a script and that has relieved a bit of her tension.

We've been married almost 45 years and thought we were going to make it to retirement and be able to do some things, we are both under medicare age and as I said, she still has a job and insurance. The advice to talk to the insurance people at her work is greatly appreciated. She's been handling that, kind of keeping me out of it. I guess I have to tell her that there can't be any private conversations about this..

She still doesn't have an oncologist, the surgeons that are going to do the operations are top notch and teach this type of surgery, the rest is still in limbo.

If this is disjointed I hope you understand. I really need somewhere to vent, DU seems to be there for that in more ways than one.
