Hi
I am sure many of you are familiar with this story, but we are currently going through the worst week of our entire lives.
My wife has just been diagnosed on Wednesday during what we believed was an exploratory test.
This came as a complete bombshell and I feel like our world has just fallen apart. I suppose it has.
She is in her early 40’s and we have two school age children aged 11 and 15. I believe this was discovered by accident as they were running tests to treat an unconnected condition. Ironically that condition has now cleared up and is fine. They have performed a bone marrow biopsy on Wednesday and she must wait two weeks before we know anything further.
After a few sleepless nights, hours on the Internet (me) and a roller coaster of emotions I feel we still have no real idea what’s going on and just in a state of disbelief. How can such a normal, happy life with our children just fall apart over night?
I would welcome any advice or comments on how to get through the next few weeks until we are told more. I was thinking of trying to keep things as normal as possible in the meantime. I am thinking of trying to return to work on Monday but just don’t know what to do.
Thanks
Tony
