My wife was diagnosed with cancer Dec. 23rd. Our lives changed dramatically. 6.5 weeks of chemo & radiation started 2 weeks later to help shrink it in order to improve her quality of life. Sitting in the waiting room everyday with her, we were the youngest people in there by at least 15 years.
Surgery was supposed to be the first week of March. Tuesday is approaching and we get a call Monday night saying they have people that they believe are infected. They are on the same floor that surgery takes place and the ventilation system is not isolated.
Chemo & radiation weakens your immune system to a near nonexistent level. The surgeon told us in her case, it can be fatal. 3 more times the surgery has been postponed and Friday they said that chemo and radiation may have to be started back up until the Covid situation stabilizes. It was 'rough' to put it mildly the first time. I can't imagine what it will do this time. I pray that I don't bring it home.

cpd004 - when I read this post, my heart was heavy for you and what you and your family are dealing with. I’ve been exactly where you’re at right now (minus the COVID-19 part) and I just felt compelled to respond. I’ll be saying some prayers for you guys as you navigate these times...I pray for wisdom and open doors for your doctors as well as clarity and wisdom for you guys to take the information you have and make the best possible decisions going forward. Most of all, I pray that your wife is healed in accordance with God’s plan and that He will give you all the peace that surpasses all understanding. If there’s anything else I can do for you, it will be my pleasure.
