My wife went through menopause upwards of ten years ago. Last month, however, she experienced some vaginal bleeding, like she was having a period. To make a long story short, she has been diagnosed with endometrial/uterine cancer, which will require a total hysterectomy.

We weren't planning on having any more children anyway (ha, ha), so that part doesn't bother us. The hysterectomy doesn't bother her, either; the question now is how aggressive is the cancer, how far has it spread, or what are the chances of it spreading?

She is scheduled at this point to go in for the total hysterectomy early next month----uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, lymph nodes, the whole nine yards, and once all that removed material has been biopsied, they will determine whether further chemo or radiation is warranted. The gynecological oncologist seems to be of the opinion that there won't be any complications with all this; hopefully that's so, but it remains to be seen.

If you could say some prayers for her, I would really appreciate it. She's doing okay with this; but she had leukemia as a child, and so she naturally has a certain amount of apprehension. I myself just don't want to lose her, if you know what I mean. But we won't know anything more until sometime after the 9th of June.

Thanks, guys, and blessings to one and all. :)

I will definitely add this to my prayer list. Prayers for no spreading and a complete removal of the cancer. May Jesus lay His healing hand on her and comfort you both. :praying:

I will add your wife, and yourself, to my prayer list also.

Is she feeling okay in the meantime?
Yeah, she's doing okay, although she's very tired most of the time and she has some abdominal pain. Mentally, well, she's very apprehensive, which is understandable. And as for the cost of all this treatment, God alone knows how it's going to be paid for; we're probably looking at at least $20,000, which I don't have and am unlikely to get. But if anybody wants to get pushy with me, I will simply reply, "I am completely out of gold and silver, but I have plenty of lead. Your move, Sparky." :mad: American medicine is a racket, and I don't have a lot of patience with it.
