Well it's been 6 months since i heard the words your tumor was cancer! this week i have all the scans and blood work and next week i meet with Dr. i sometimes think the waiting is worse than the knowing. i've had a few issue these past 6 months, still having blood in my urine and some pain, but they keep assuring me it could just be from the surgery and the healing. my husband still doesn't say the cancer word, nor do most of my family, luckly i have a good friend and a support group at church to let my feelings out to. i also have this group of wonderful caring friends who pray and support me. thank-you Daily Strength Family! prayers and hugs to all of you.

It has been about four weeks since we heard my husbands diagnoses, so we have just begun this journey. This group has some of the strongest, most amazing people I've ever met! My thoughts and prayers to you. Hugs, Carol

The wait for followup tests and the results can be so nerve racking.
I hate waiting for those. I hope the tests go well and you get all good news. I will be having my One year check up soon. I had surgery last Nov. Been good so far!! With Gods help things will go well!!! I hope your family comes to realize how much you need their support and that they can face the fact that you have the Cancer. Hang in there! lazerlenny

Hi Peggy,
i just wanted to welcome to the MRCC DS site, this is a very hard time for you and i so do understand, my fiance who was d/x Aug 2008 with stage IV mrcc, he had a nephrectomy Nov. 2008, i am his caregiver, avocate and his sole support, and like you were saying, he, like your husband doesn't talk about his cancer either... I know these are different circumstances, but it's can be a very lonely place at times, with this being your family...I just wanted you to know you are not alone, having cancer or being a caregiver, we all have very hard times dealing with these issues especially when all the test are coming up and results have to be dealt with, and being the first 6 months for you, my heart goes out to you.... I am so glad that you have friend and a church support group to go too and wonderful friends, these are such special gifts, getting out your feelings is so very important, and you will find here that many women are experienceing the same issues as you.... For me since early last Sept 2008 i joined DS and started my journals and that was all i had and many emotions came out which got me to where i am today... I do not have any family nor many outside friends who know what it's like to live with mrcc... So thru my journals and many dear friends here, i was able to go thru the process with my fiance not sharing his feelings or talking at all about his cancer, we are doing so much better, we still don't talk about his cancer but we talk today and it's all thru the process of learning a new and better life and way living with mrcc....I wish you the very best and sometimes with a warm welcome comes a new friend... God bless you, Peggy, Becca Anne.

Dear Peggy,
It has been 7.5 years since my husband received his dx. I remember those first moments, days, and months as if it were just yesterday. One thing for sure that you are doing right is to seek out your own support group. I know there are so many people around you who love and care for you, but not everyone handles serious health news the same. I'm sure the family members you mentioned are in denial themselves of what is happening. I gravitated to the people who showed me that they are there for me to lean on. I still kept close with all my family and friends, but learned who can handle what. I accept that I can't open my heart and let out all my pain and worry with some, but I did find great support in places I never expected. So seek out what you need. It is there. I hope in time, all around you will realize how important their support means to you. I wish you the very best. Linda p.s. My DS friends have been my greatest support of all!
