I don't have any advice other than take it a day at a time, and wait and see what the next tests show. But I know how hollow that sounds.

After cancer, doctors and tests can be really scary. I know. I've been in remission from metastatic sarcoma for six months now.

My prayers are with you. I pray it is nothing.

I agree... There's nothing you can do but support and comfort your wife as MUCH as you can...

I suppose if you really want to do something, there are several herbs and things like that out there that people swear by. My good friend's sister had cancer and she refused to go to the doctor because she doesn't believe in modern medicine.. Insted she ate shittake mushrooms all the time and the next time she went back, the cancer was gone.

Working for insurance isn't nothing. It is peace of mind for your wife and you, that what you need to worry about is the child. You are doing a noble thing each day that you show up and do the work. Many people would just roll up and give up.

If you need to take life day by day, hour by hour or even minute by minute don't beat yourself up. I worked to provide insurance for my family during a number of family crisis. When my daughter was born she was in NICU for 4 months and I worked through 1/2 of my chemo and all of my radiation treatment.

Don't be afraid to lean on others as needed and let others help. I will be praying and sending good energy your way.
