Hello everyone. This is the first time on this site for my wife and I. We will both be using this user name to cut down on the traffic. Our story is a sad one but an all to familiar one. A little over a month ago we were living a normal life (work,paying bills,vacations, no worries). My wife started complaining of lower back pain. we went to the doctor and was told she probably pulled something. She was also complaining of some numbness. They sent her for an MRI. They sent us two hours away to a specialist for the results. This scared us right of the bat. I thought she was going to need surgery for ruptured disc or something like that. We did not recieve that kind of news at all. The doctor informed us that she had a golf ball sized tumor in her spinal cord. The doctor also was concered that there might be more but this tumor was threatening paralysis and would have to be surgicaly removed. She was scheduled for surgery two days after that but first she went through 3 more hours of MRI's from the top of her head to the base of her spine. We returned the following day for the results terrified. The doctor grabbed a box of tissues and told us she had 5 tumors. 2 in her spinal cord and 3 in her brain.....we were devistated. My wife was admitted into the hospital for surgery in the morning. She made it through the surgery with slight never damage to her leg.(slight numbness) but the surgeon informed me that they were milignant. He continued to say that none of these tumors were the primary sight of the cancer. He also told me that through other test (CT scans ) they had seen a mass in her breast and would biopsy while she was in recovery in the ICU. They did and found that to be the primary site (Breast cancer). She is only 40 and fighting for her life going through radiation and chemotherapy.
She smokes and it helps her with her appetite, nausea and pain but we live in a very oppsed state where even saying the word marijuana would get you arrested. Its hard to find and alot more expensive then I remember. I am thinking of growing but everything I have read is overwhelming. I have a great green thumb but science seems to have taking growing to another level. I dont understand alot of the lingo being in my early 40's myself. I would appreciate any suggestions.
I will do anything to help my wife she is the other half of me and I love her.
