One year ago .....We heard the words Cancer

So , Dennis and Mine's Wedding Anniversary is 9/9/98 ( even though we meet 10/25/90) lol. It was labor day weekend 2010 when I got a texted from my husband he was in route to the hospital for a possible appendicitis attact. He had been texting me all day about a pain in his side but I hadn't seen them yet. I really wasn't to upset as this seem pretty cut and dried of all ailments that are out there. We were just waiting for test results when the Doctors came out and told us they couldn't quite tell what it was but ruled out the appenicitis for the new and improved diagnosis of food poisening or colon infections. Then he looked right at us and said also we found a mass on the opposite side in your kidney which is cancerous. Holy Shit , this is like being hit by a freight train !!!
any way fast forward to now... Cancerous Kidney out , no other treatment for now just watch and see. Gail retired and loving it. Gail retired and Dennis loving it. Living each day with thoughtfulness and love to each other.
It would be nice to think we are done , but as all of know so well this can be done or a chronic disease that can take our loved one's .
 
Love to all
Gail
