    Well WTF?

    I have a few days off this week. Nothing planned. Gimme a shout if anything is needed. Sounds like a pot of chicken soup is at the top of the menu.

    Give my best to the wife. I hope all works out there.

    Hope you're all good. I've seen how cancer treatment can take it out of someone. As long as you have someone to lean on! :D

    when I posted this, I had run home from the hospital to let the dog out. while I was home, I got a text from Codie saying "not appendix. ovarian cancer or ovarian cyst." NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!

    when I got back to the hospital, they had her in ultrasound. apparently, Codie had a "baseball sized" mass around an ovary. At this point, my head is absolutely spinning....there is no fucking way we can BOTH have cancer! she takes care of me. I talked to the nurse and we were just starting to talk about ovarian cancer when they brought Codie back to the room.

    It was a long night. long story short, it looks like it's NOT cancer. because of a few factors, the doc (and Codie and I) thought it best to operate last night. the surgery went well and Codie is now missing an ovary and fallopian tube. I'm heading down there shortly. as strong as you people think I am, I'm not sure I could have handled another cancer.....luckily, this wasn't it and Codie should be able to come home tomorrow night.

    I am so thankful to hear that it wasn't. Much love and healing thoughts to you and Codie. Be gentle with yourselves during this time. You two are an amazing couple. Inspiring doesn't even begin to describe it.

    oh hell....I'm so sorry to hear this. I know exactly what your wife is going through. going thru it myself at the moment and my surgery for that is scheduled for next week thursday, (of course after I see both nights of eddie in chicago). My heart and thoughts and prayers go out to you both.

    And remember the good Lord wouldn't dish out what you guys couldn't handle. Knowing that gets me through alot lately.

    You guys are super strong and you'll get through this.

    hugs to you both.

    Holy Shit.

    It is just a cyst (fingers crossed). Man I don't get the shivers often... but your posts have been nailing me. I also somehow feel like there is no possible way Codie has cancer. You said it best yourself. There are good days ahead, plenty of them. I just don't feel an overwhelming sense of dread for either of you. It just aint possible! If anything I feel like you are in the right place in the right time and everything will fall into place. And I am not the religious type, I just think the Karma is there.

    that being said, I'll send a PM with my number in case you dont have it handy. Give me a call if you need ANYTHING!

    OMG Rob. I went through this same scare in 2005. As badly as it scared me the surgery was pretty simple. I recovered very quickly and I'm sure Codie will too.

    dude, the fact that you are so strong through this for yourself, and there for your good lady says a lot about you.

    so glad it wasn't cancer!

    although a rather pointless thing to say from all the way in Bristol, if you need anything give me a shout. :)

    oh good lord, I am to the curb. not even sure I can compose a post but here's where I'm at...

    ALL I want to do is sleep and somehow fast forward through these next 2-3 weeks. after tomorrow, I have 2 more weeks of chemo and 14 radiation treatments (halfway thru). every bad side effect you could have, I've got. I've got to get in my truck in a few minutes and drive to radiation and the thought of the drive is daunting. it just sucks...when they said I would feel worse with each passing day, they weren't kidding.

    I had a friend come over to walk gracie today. I feel guilty for her but I think she knows her dad is not right.

    On a brighter note, Codie is recovering well. on my second visit yesterday, they had removed her IV and catheter and she was eating some solid food. they're going to let her come home tomorrow :D . I'm going to see her after radiation but I'm afraid I won't be able to stay long.

    send me your vibes, prayers, whatever. tell cancer I'm going to kick it's punk ass!

    p.s. in case anyone wonders "how the hell can you have a tennis ball (me) or baseball (Codie) sized mass and not know?", you can. the doc said codie's was not that unusual and she felt perfectly fine up until monday morning. luckily, it twisted and alerted her. mine, I knew something was going on and coulda/shoulda gone in a little sooner...but the $#@&^ing thing had been growing for probably 2 years :cry:
