The word relief just got a new meaning - my wife does NOT have cervical cancer!

in #life7 years ago (edited)

**My wife did a biopsy a couple of months ago, and they found some worrying changes in the cells - which was serious enough to do a small surgery where they take out a bite and examine it. **

Just now they called her and told her she was completely fine. MAN have we been tested. When she first told me I started imagining cancer, hospital visits, and her slowly dying from cancer. It's been such a struggle to keep these thoughts out, and at the same time my mother IS actually dying from heart failure. That's hard enough to go through. But I am so happy about my strength right now. Just tree years ago I had panic attacks for literally nothing. Through these few weeks of emotional hardship (especially for her) I've been a rock.

Unlike before when I couldn't show any feelings, or had no control over my feelings (which I suspect was one of the reasons for my panic attacks ((my body trying to air out emotions)), I'm now able to talk about them and even cry and sob without feeling like complete unmanly loser.

And what strength she has shown through this. She's working on a huge deal with her business - and at the same time going through this.

What a summer this is going to be!

Lots of times the test give false positives. Thank God there was no confirmation of Cervical Cancer!!!!!

I know! And rationally we knew that the odds were on our side. But all the thoughts and emotions that comes up are so real :) Yes, thank god for that. Thank you :)

Good to read that your wife is completely fine. I remember my stress when I was waiting for my mom results. Luckily, everything was okay :)
Take care! Have a good day :)

I was more stressed than her :D I'm glad to hear your mom was OK. Now, YOU remember to take the test as well! I'm going to have one of the best days in my life today. Hope you have a great day as well :)

Congratulations! I hope you and your wife have a long, healthy life!
