Wow, I am so sorry you're dealing with this - that must be really hard! I hope everything turns out okay!
I'm so sorry that happened to you! I hope that it early enough that he can be treated for it without complications. I'm sure that the procedure and treatment has improved greatly since his grandfather was young. You are in our thoughts.
Oh goodness. My very best friend in the whole world and her fiance (who is my fiance's best friend in the whole world) had a mole on the back of his neck that my bff asked him to get checked out for months and months. He finally got it checked and it ended up being malignant melanoma. They waited a week for results to see if the cancer had spread, and (thanks be to God) it had not. He had the mole removed and now has a huge scar, but is fine.
Although it was not my own fiance, it may as well have been, we are all so close. I know what you are going through and there is nothing more tough. Luckily your fiance is only 25, and a young body is very capable of fighting things.
My prayers are with you.
I am so sorry to hear this! It sounds like they caught it early, he is young, and cancer treatment has come a very long way from what it was when his grandfather had cancer. I think your husband has a really great chance of pulling through this! I wish you all the luck in the world!
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I can't even imagine how scared you both must be, and waiting is the worst. I do agree with missasb though - things are a lot different now, so I'm sure outcomes have certainly improved since his grandfather had it.
I'll be thinking of you both!!
divinemissE: first, my thoughts are with you, second, my father had a mass in his stomach that was cancerous. they did surgery, took it out and he's been fine ever since...I'm not sure what kind of cancer it was but his recovery was pretty quick and he's been ok since...I'll send you some good vibes...
Thank you so much ladies. You are all such a wonderful support group to have.
@Leelee: Thank you. That is exactly what I needed to hear. I know that we will get through this. I've already told him he's not allowed to die. We have too much life left to live.
I'd like to think I'm dealing with it fairly well. The waiting is the worst (and it hasnt' been a full day yet). One day at a time, right?
We're all thinking of you. I also echo what Rabbit said, the treatments have come a long way since then. But worry about that step if you get to it. sending good vibes your way.
Sending lots of love in your direction. We're all here for you, thinking of you, praying for you, and sending our positive thoughts.
((HUGS)) no one our age should have to deal with this. but yes, cancer treatment has come a long way and if it is cancer, then you need to strong for him. I read an article in a Cosmo (I think this months) about a girl who fell in love with someone who had leukemia (or something else toerable but incurable) and they had 10 good years. The last few months before he died, they kept asking each other questions to really get to know each others hopes and dreams.
I am not saying this is anything like your situation, but make sure you talk to each other, about anything and everything. Spend as much time together as you can cuddling and talking, and that will help the next few days go by. Keep doing it, and you'll have all these hopes and dreams to look forward to, and you'll know so much about each other it'll bring you closer.
You can and will get through this. Sending powerful good vibes your way
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Waiting is the worst, it's a very scary situation but once you know, you can take action, do whatever needs to be done. We're all thinking of you and wish you and your husband the best.
I'm so sorry you're going through this, especially so young!
Hopefully the doctor's caught things soons enough that he will be able to get treatment and recover quickly.
Keep us posted on the results!
Thanks again, ladies. I can't tell you what it means to me to have your support right now. I'm trying to keep myself as busy as possible right now (it doesn't help that it's the slow time of year at work). If I stop to think I loose it. I just want to be at home with him right now.
oh honey, hang in there. I am SO sorry. I have a very close friend going through this right now, and I am by her side every day. PM me and Ill send you my email address if you want me to talk you through what she is going through.
Just keep strong for him and for both of you. Cancer is surviveable these days. As much of a shock and terror this is to deal with, it can be done. xoxo
My FI was diagnosed with stomach and pancreatic cancer at age 38. Thankfully the pancreatic tumor ended up being benign. I am not going to say it was easy, but we got through it. He had to undergo a lot of chemo (he chose the pills instead of the IV) but now he is cancer free. He has to get regular check-ups for the rest of his life...but he is still here with me.
He ended up not needing surgery but that is definitely an option if the cancer ever comes back (he has had some pre-cancerous cells that have been removed a couple of times). Even then, I know he will be OK b/c his dad had to have a portion of his stomach removed and he is perfectly healthy and eating everything in sight today.
If it is cancer, it will get rough...but if you guys remain committed to each other you can make it...and that's someone who has been through it telling you that. I will pray that it's a benign tumor. Good Luck
MissE- I have no experience or words of advice to share, but know that I will be keeping you and your husband in my prayers. Whatever the diagnosis, I pray the prognosis will be good.
Ms E -
I will be praying for you and your husband. I am sorry to hear you are going through this right now, and know how scared you must be, but hang in there! We are all thinking of you, and us praying-types are praying for you ;) Please keep us posted. This is a great board for moral support and we're here for ya!
Wow I'm so sorry you are going through this! I hope that the doctors are wrong and it's not in fact cancer, but if it is, I hope that he can get treatment that will help him recover quickly. I'll be sending you my thoughts and prayers, and if you need anything just let us know!
I'm so sorry!
A friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer a year or so ago (I don't know what type) and he fought through it and is completely healthy today. He even has all of his hair back! Us 20-somethings are tough! Don't discount that!
We'll be hoping it comes back beignin but even if it doesn't just remember that all is not lost and that LOTS of good vibes are coming your way.
(((HUGS))) Thinking of you.
I also wanted to echo what others have said....cancer is more survivable these days than in the past. I know three people personally who have beat it, one of which was told he wouldn't survive another six months. You two are going to get through this!
@TheDivineMissE, I'm so sorry your husband and you found out this news, thankfully he got it checked out and you'll know the results soon enough. Medicine has come such a long way and it sounds like it is early so I think he'll be fine.
I understand why you are anxious, scared, upset. 2 days before Christmas last year I found a lump in my right breast and I freaked since breast cancer runs in my family. Thankfully my sister works at a hospital and a friend of ours does mammograms and got me in right after the holidays (which were very tense for me), after a few doctors, a biopsy and a surgery I'm glad to say it wasn't cancer but large enough so it needed to be removed.
I'm praying that's it's nothing but a lump in your husband but if it turns out to be cancer I know you will get through it together. The best thing my FI did was just be there for me, listen, hold me when I cried and give me positive thoughts.
Best of luck to both of you, I hope to hear good news from you soon.
My thoughts and prayers are definitely with you! I agree with the bees above - treatment has come a long way, and even if it is cancer, he can beat this. It won't be easy (it never is), but I'm convinced that a positive, "I'm going to kick cancer's *ss" is what got my mom through her breast cancer. By the time they discovered it, she was in stage 3, and she's a year in remission already.
The waiting is the hardest part, but keep us updated and we're definitely praying for you and your hubby!
Thank you ladies!
I just met him for lunch and told him that I posted this here. I told him about JamacaBride's and Leelee's comments and he said "see, I can beat it." Not that I ever doubted that he COULD/WILL beat it, if he indeed has cancer. He's talking like it's already been confirmed. You are all right, it is not a death sentence. Treatment has come so far. Hell, he saw me through 2 back surgeries in 1 year, I can see him through this, no problem. I am so thankful for him. He's my soulmate, he makes me a better person and he is the love of my life. He CAN'T die, we are supposed to die in bed together when we are well into our 90's (a la The Notebook). He promised. I'm feeling stronger thanks to all of you. I'll keep you all posted. Thank you again for all your love, prays, good vibes and support.
I just wanted to tell you that you and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers today. Hang in there!
MissE I will be thinking of you and your husband and hope and pray that everything will come out good.
@Divine
My thoughts are with you and your FI. I am an oncology nurse and can tell you first hand how important mental strength and family support are. Your FI is lucky to have you by his side to help him fight this. I agree with the the pps,along time ago people thought everyone getting chemo was just going to be miserable, but that is definately not the case these days. Not all treatments are easy, but there are many things to try to manage side effects.
Please feel free to message me if you ever need to talk.
I'm so so sorry! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband. I agree with some of the other posters that 20-somethings have a good chance of kicking things like this in the butt early. He will be OK, and as you said, you have so much more life to live. Attitude counts for a lot at times like this, so stay strong and positive.
You've gotten lots of support, but I'll give you a little extra in case you need it.
I'll be thinking about both of you in the coming days.

My husband went to the doc. yesterday. They found a mass in his stomach that they believe is cancer. They did a biopsy and we will have the results in 3-5 days. His grandfather died of stomach cancer at a young age (40ish I believe). I'm trying not to freak out, because it's not a for sure thing yet. But the Doctors told hubby that they think it's probably cancer. We've been married for less than 2 months. Have been dating for 6 years. He's only 25. I'm so scared.
Has anyone else been though something like this? I needed to get it out, we aren't telling the family until we know for sure what the diagnosis is.
