UPDATE:

Good Evening my Friends. I wanted to let you guys know how things are going with my husband's cancer. For the past 7 weeks we have been home healing and learning to do some things alittle different, John is in wheelchair and is feeling very down about losing his leg. We as humans take for granted alot of little things in our lives. For instance, to adjust to him being in his wheelchair I am having to put things he likes to eat or drink on the bottom shelf of refrigerator. Dishes or cups on the counter. I never thought about how he has to balance on one leg to shower. This is a learning journey for both of us.

We did have another CT scan on March 28th to check and see if the nodules in his lung had grown over the past 4 weeks. Our appointment with oncologist on the 30th went really well. The doctor stated that the nodules looked the same..No growth! Best News !! Our plan now is to monitor him every 3 months for the nodules for any growth. The doctor will also be doing MRI to make sure no other tumors show up. We have appointment in 2 weeks to start the process of getting him fitted for a prosthetic. This journey continues and I thank you so much for letting me share.

I will pray for your Dh and for your strength.

UPDATE:

Good evening my friends!!

Well I wanted to give you an update on my husband. The past few weeks have been extremely hard for both of us. The depression has set in with my husband and I am struggling to help him. I have contacted his doctor and was told some of his meds could be giving him depression and anxiety. He has been taken off of those medications and his mood is somewhat better. He still has those moments. It is so sad for me to see him with his head down and crying. He is a prideful and usually strong man but this amputation has really changed him.

I am praying every day that he will see what God has done for us. This is a long journey and I'm counting this period of healing as part of that trip. Please continue prayers.

So Grateful and Blessed to have you as my friends

Moving on after amputation of a limb is a difficult process for the mind and body. It is understandable for your husband to grieve.

My 71 year old husband went thru an amputation procedure that took part of his foot in early 2019. He wore a wound vac for 5 months, which was actually the hardest part of the process for him. From start to finish, it was a 364 day ordeal. I never once saw my husband sad, or depressed during that time. He always denied depression to his medical providers, including the Home Health nurses, saying it was "just a thing". One of the VA therapists who came to talk to my husband the day of his amputation was in a wheelchair after losing both legs in Vietnam. My husband felt he had nothing to complain about at all over losing a small part of his foot in comparison to that man's loss.

Your husband will pull himself together and move forward, after he accepts his situation. His life will undoubtedly be a bit different than the way he pictured it, but he has to see that life is still good, and worth living. Support from family and friends makes a difference in the desire to keep looking forward to tomorrow.

Continued prayers of strength for you both.

@Tina From Georgia Praying that things are getting better for you and for your dear husband. I hope that he is feeling less depressed and much stronger emotionally. I also hope he is learning how to successfully master his physical challenges. I also hope that you are also feeling much more settled after all you and he have gone through, and continue to experience.

I am asking for everyone to please pray for my husband. IN the past 72 hours our world has come crashing down. He is 57 years old and my best friend my rock..He has worked 28 years in the medical field so last Thursday morning he asked doctor to look at his leg. THe doctor immediately sent him to MRI and CT Scan. A 12 cm tumor was discovered in his right calf. The Doctors at his work immediatley called Emory to set up biopsy and more scans with contrast. When we met with orthopedic/oncologist and he did biopsy he did tell us that it was sarcoma and he was sure it was malignant. Now we are waiting to see if it is anywhere else in body and if tumor is in leg bone. The waiting is killing us. I cant look at him without crying. PLease pray...You dont know me but I ask with my heart.

You have my prayers. I am so sorry, it's very scary. I don't have to know you, but I certainly can feel your pain and the worry. Tina, I will pray everyday during the day for you and your husband Emory. God bless you both.
