So sorry to hear about her small mass and the accident. This must have you both pretty rattled.

A truly bad day for you two.

Group hug for wifey

I know you both must be very rattled.

Tell your wife not to worry about her breast cancer. It was caught early and that’s very good. Odds are she will be fine. I’m a survivor of a stage 3.

The lump was caught early asnd statistically, should be a minor thing in the long run. No need to ponder how much worse things could be with such an awful example right on your doorstep. 😬

The accident sounds pretty horrifying and not a good end to your day.

My mom had the same diagnosis and treatment and was never bothered with it again. She did, however, scar my husband for life by sending us a picture of her boob marked up with target lines by the radiologist.

My condolences for the poor gentleman and his family.

... his ashes are under our bed right where I sleep.

We've let the surgeon know Joy doesn't wear bikinis anymore, not to worry.

Your last line made me chuckle. My great-gran needed a double mastectomy in her 80s and the doctors were clearly apprehensive. Full of sharp wit, she responded “my husband is dead and I don’t wear bikinis! Take ‘em off!”

... After our son came back from Iraq with eleven months stop loss and two years, he was a mess. Bradley came to be with us while he worked through PTSD and some legal issues. We live in a condo, about 1400 sq ft. I would walk him four or five times a day, but he just needed to run. An there is just no place for us to let him run. One morning I just opened the door and out he went and into traffic, I got around the corner just in time to see a hit and run driver roll him under her car. I about lost it. Another couple of drivers driver carried him across the street to our veterinarian.

I had to walk right over THE spot where he died everyday to and from my studio everyday for years. My heart sunk every day two times a day.

That was just a good dog living in the wrong neighborhood, with people too old handle him.

Our son pulled through and is doing very well in Alaska. He's a good man.

I dream of my dearly departed pups all the time. We have the dogs at the times we do to teach us something; I’m not always sure what though.
I’m glad your son is doing well. Big hugs to you and your wife.

Not the best of days!

There are little rays of light, though... your wife's cancer is treatable, that's a good thing. True, that she has it at all sucks.

The accident where the victim passed in your driveway... at least you weren't standing or somehow in the path of the vehicle when out of control. Sucks that the event happened and for the deceased.

Not sure what you meant about the neighbor. But if she's okay, there's that.

Here's hoping everything goes better from here on out!

... have been her. She's deaf and can't hear the door bell or phone ring. These are hooked to a light that flashes when the phone or doorbell rings.

Glad it wasn't her.

Concern. What an awful day.

15 years bc free 🤗 lumpectomy, chemo, radiation (with follow up heart valve replacement 14 years later)

w/rads is getting off lightly, to say the the least!

Have no worries, this (for the big CA), is strictly routine now.

.... comforting thots to you and quick healing for your wife,
post her lumpectomy!

... if I had to have it, I wish it were now: they now use an aerosol to cure it.

I wish your wife the speediest of recoveries. All best wishes and good vibes are being sent her way. Please keep us posted on her progress.

Rolled up on an awful scene...
Take care.

For you and your wife too close to home..literally. Medical advances and science, will thankfully be the life saving treatment your wife needs to live a healthy life and that is the best news. Keep us posted on her progress as best wishes are coming her way and to you, her caregiver 🌺

Best of luck to you both with that. My thoughts are with you both (because it's very hard to be the one in the waiting room.)

I'm so sorry that horror happened at your home. That's very upsetting.

my wife having hone through the exact same thing — very early detection, small lumpectomy, and a relatively limited radiation regimen, I share you and your wife’s confidence. Virtually no side effects aside from red sunburnish reaction to the radiation by the end of it - short lived and relatively painless. It’s been a few a few years since she went thru her episode — and sll positive and cancer free since.

One note that seems worth sharing: my wife researched and found a female breast cancer surgeon who specialized in removing the lump with the least possible cosmetic impact. She did a remarkably good job — the surgery is pretty much unnoticeable except to the person knowing it was done.

Best to both of you and here’s hoping for a perfect outcome and nothing but good days ahead.

Sad about your neighbor.. what a day!

Sending healing vibes, and I will be thinking of you both. Sorry also about the driver that was killed.

Relieved for you both that it wasn't your neighbor. Hopefully today is going better for your wife and you.

and got excellent treatment in Austin. Sounds like she caught it early...that's good news. ☮

... and Urine Bladder surgery 2019 - removed my bladder and I was glad there was enough colon left to make new ureters which were removed with the bladder. The cherry of that experience is they take the Prostate with the ureters. In the necropsy that it was cncerous, also.

in 2022 I got Brucillosis that took months to diagnose because it's so rare and I had no obvious exposure to it.

And in the last two years I've been hospital 3 times a year for UTis. And once this year. But they are still on the case and I believe they'll lick this yet.

What a day filled with turmoil

I am so sorry, marble falls

Hugs to you and your lovely wife

(((((HUGS)))))

Best wishes for a good success.

that they have such good treatments now. I'm sorry she has this, but she should be fine. A close relative of mine beat more advanced breast cancer ten years ago, and the treatments have probably improved since then.

What a horrible, tragic accident in front of your house while you were away.

... we both have extremely good health care. EVERYONE in the country should get my coverage for the same price I pay for it - $0. The US one the of the largest providers of socialized medicine and I am a member of one of the largest units: VA. My wife doesn't have Cadillac insurance - she has Rolls Royce insurance, by dint of her 28 years with CIA through United Health Care. Her premiums are under $300/month.

We are doing fine. Now all I need is a solution for the UTIs (that have gone septic twice) I get about every three months. And they are working on it, I go into the clinic tomorrow and have another CAT scan on Friday.

best vibes and healing go to both of you. So sorry about the accident that claimed a life.

I had a double lumpectomy last year to remove two malignant spots in one of my breasts. It's amazing how this surgery has progressed along with good outcomes.

My surgeon made a point of telling me that my positive attitude and the excellent support of my family were key to my good result. I hope you both remain optimistic and she has relatively easy time

it is treatable, bad news that she has it though.

But the accident was freaky, hope it wasn't a suicide.

Good vibes for your wife's treatments.

... here in Marble Falls, speed limits are treated as the minimum speed limit.

I hope she has a smooth recovery.

So sorry all of that happened. It's kind of hard when things all pile up.

Wishing your wife all the very best. Have had a family member undergo the lumpectomy and subsequent radiation visits. She had DCIS. I think she had to do 17 radiation visits. All went well except for fatigue from the radiation. She has other health conditions that might have contributed to the fatigue, so hopefully your wife will sail through.

Again - all the VERY best.

... take any of lymph nodes.
