When it rains it pours.....


This year so far has been the pits! I feel like when it rains it pours around here.
Andy lost his job in Dec. 07, and we had to rally around one another to get through it and we did!! I have never known such generosity that was shown to us by others giving so selflessly.

We managed to get through that hurdle and on to another. Andy started a new job but his health insurance has not kicked in yet. He came to me on Monday and said he felt a lump in his armpit area. It is about the size of a small golf ball. I took him to the doctor Friday. I think they need to give more lessons to Dr.'s about their bed side manner. He blurted out, okay its not a infected lymph gland and we need a biopsy. I was actually in shock, and asked what it was? His response was it is either Lymphoma or possible Breast Cancer. I am still in shock to say the least.
his biopsy is scheduled for Friday morning the 18th. I pray that the results come back benign. I can't even phantom any other possibilities right now.
It's hard to put into words the feeling I have right now. Scared doesn't even begin to touch it. My chest hurts, and its hard to breath as if I have an elephant sitting there. Andy is the strongest person I know, and this is unimaginable.

I remember when we met, LOL. I was suppose to be going out on a date, but my roommate wanted me to stop by and see him and his girlfriend at the bowling alley. I reluctantly went, hoping to be gone fast. As soon as I got there I knew I had been set up. In walks Andy carrying his bowling ball( which I thought was kinda gooberish). I ended up staying for a while so not to come off as being you know what! He took me home later, after a few drinks so needless to say we both were out of our minds. It would turn out to be the beginning of the best thing to ever happen to me.

I was dating someone else but it never failed, where ever I went he was there. I began to feel as I as being stalked! Eventually he wore me down and I went out on a date with him. Our first actual first date was to the Drive-In, LOL...I think the movie showing was Batman. Eventually he some how ended up moving in with me. It began as just a weekend thing to all the time thing. And as they say.... The rest is history!

Poor bedside manners is an understatement. I can't believe the dr said that to you guys. It could be a million things! Either way, my thoughts and prayers are with you both, I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to hear that.

When the results come back clear I hope you give that dr a piece of your mind! ;)

I think that things will be fine. It really could be many other things. I will say prayers for you guys. I can't imagine what you're going through, but I want to give you (((hugs))).
