New Update on Wife's Health
7 years ago
We got some promising news today during our consult with the Oncologist. They are 90% sure it’s a Grade 1 Stage 1A with a survival rate of 90%+.
The current treatment will be an IUD we put in place anyways as it was to help with her irregular months; which is one of the early signs that she could have had endometrial cancer starting.... we now have plenty of time on our hands in the way of "well you aren't dying tomorrow" but we are looking at sooner rather than later of having a hysterectomy needing to be done.
She will be getting a gene test for possible historical signs of other cancers that show up as a mutated strain with an MRI being done to see the cancer cells and how deep they go.
Sadly there is no chance to save her eggs thanks to her insurance not covering something like that, but we may be able to keep her ovaries to let us save up for something later on; with the downside of only have a year or two to do this -- all depending on what the MRI shows and how well the IUD combats the cancer. So we are looking at a better prognosis than we expected; though recovery for something like this will still be four weeks and that's four weeks of pay we won't have. Again; we are being told that this needs to be done sooner rather than later... meaning we need to start planning now and move forward with this within the coming months.
We still encourage for anyone to donate when and where able; or at the least please spread the word. While people do; she will be donating her own way by promoting Cancer Awareness and donating when I can to the American Cancer Society.
