HUGS xxx

My life fell apart this week ...its been a roller coaster
and I am not handling things very well right now

Pete has got to go in for emergency surgery ..the lumps that were taken for a biopsy were MM cells

Malignant Melanoma ...
a rare form ...that didn't actually show up on his skin ...
the first we knew about it was a few weeks back when he found this lump

Im trying desperately to keep orders flowing smoothly
and get dolls out ...but some days ..I fall apart ...
this past week has been hell
and any day now ..we will get the news he has to go in to have his lymph gland removed and find out if its spread
I cant believe this has happened to my wonderful man ..
at the moment he is well and strong ...and has no symptoms at all any were ..his blood work is good and there was nothing on his lungs
we are going to fight every inch of the way ....

Im selling off a large part of my collection
I just wan to make things a little easier for us whilst we fight this thing

Oh, Carrie, sweetie . . . . I'm in tears. I wish there was something I could do to help, but I do offer my prayers for Pete's healing and recovery and for the Comfort of God to be on all of your family. Just know that many of us care about you and have you in out thoughts. Kari

Nothing is as important as taking care of your man. Hang in there! You will get through this. It's a scary diagnosis but you can beat it. I'll send prayers for your whole family too!

Carrie- I'm so sorry to hear of this happening to such a nice person! But please, take a deep breath, say a prayer, and try to stay optimistic. I have two friends who have each had malignant melanoma. Both of them had large lumps that turned out to be malignant. This was years ago. They both were treated, and are both fine now. They have to have frequent checkups at the dermatologist's office, wear sunscreen, be careful of sun exposure, etc., but other than that, they are absolutely fine.
I will pray that the same is true in your husband's case, and that this will simply be a scary time that you were all able to overcome. Please take care of yourself and like I said, try to stay positive. *hugs* Cirquemom
