Good evening gentlemen. This is a sappy post that I’ve been struggling to write for a few weeks now. Please, if you know me personally off the board, don’t be offended that I didn’t text or call as I’ve just really been struggling to talk about this with anyone.

About three weeks ago, my wife was diagnosed with stage 2 grade 3 breast cancer. She’s 33. Seventy percent of her cancer cells are multiplying, so time is of the essence and they plan to begin chemotherapy treatments this week.

I am very impressed with the team from CHI that we will be working with and the vast amount of knowledge they provide is overwhelming.

We have been having conversations about what happens if this doesn’t work. It’s hard for me to ever think worst case scenario as you all know, because God made me an optimist for a reason and that part will never change. So those talks have been extremely difficult for me to have especially as they make my mind wonder about how our 5 year old will handle all of this.

I reached my breaking point last night after an incident with my mother in law.

This is a place I spend a good chunk of time and I consider many of you my friends. So I could really use some thoughts and prayers now boys.
I’ll pray for her and your family. God’s got you.

We will be beating this. I’ve never been more confident in a statement in my life.

I liked every post ITT except this one... cuz this one gets a "RUN THE DAMN BALL" response.


✊ Nebraska Power, fight cancer everyday. I pray for strength for your wife, your family and you. You can do it.

Damn…sorry to hear this is going on. Will certainly be thinking of you and your family. Sending one upstairs to the big guy now. Breath deep and keep believing.

Sorry to hear brother. My sister (40) was diagnosed with breast cancer grade 2 earlier this year. They originally thought it was grade 4. It is very tough to stay optimistic, but you got to stay strong for the family. Use whatever resource you have for talking about this. It definitely helped me! We had a fundraiser and even raised money because that was her biggest worry. Stay stronger brother and keep your head up. Just be there for her and your 5 year old.

T's and P's. They've come a long ways with breast cancer so I'm sure everything will turn out well.

They really have. The chemo treatment is a 24 week one and it has a total remission success rate of 65%. There’s another 30% on top of that, which I can’t remember the phrasing or terminology of that they can’t quite qualify as a total remission, but the cancer is basically all at bay.
