Took my bride to Mayo in Phoenix on Wednesday as she has been hurting with chest and back pain in the mid to upper shoulder area on the right side/lung area.
They have done a ton of tests, CT, X-rays, MRI, blood work, and others. Came back with a major tumor in the upper right lung area. They did a biopsy of the tumor and lymph nodes and the complete tests won't be back until Tuesday.
They said they are fairly confident that it is cancerous and is in Stage 4. They want to do a brain MRI and a Pet Scan too now as they are worried it might be in the brain and or bones.
She has been in a lot of pain the last 2 weeks and it seems to double every day as far as pain goes. Don't know yet when she can come home or when or what they can do until at least next Tuesday.
She is tough and doesn't complain about pain or anything unless it is really bad.
Those of you who know us know that we are connected at the hip and do everything together! It is hard and i am sick and tired of walking around this house. Have cried more in the last 3 days than i have my whole life. I am not feeling sorry for myself, i am feeling sorry for her and having to go through this without anyone there as they won't even let me in the building on account of this Virus crap!
She has been with me through all my neck and back surgeries and my strokes. Just doesn't seem fair or right that i can't be there for her in this terrible time.
Not asking or wanting sympathy but i am asking for all the prayers that you can send to my dear bride Brenda! I am a strong believer in our Heavenly Father and the power of prayer. If prayer can't heal her i hope it can at least take most of the pain away.
Thank you all.
