We need your prayers
 

I know I usually write off the wall & joking things, but
gt lee (my wife) has breast & lymph node cancer.

She'll be operated on Tuesday. I don't think it's real bad, but to me - it's bad enough. Odie is scared & so am I.

I hate the fact that she has to go through this but I'll be by her side ALL the way. I dont quite know what to do or say to help her so I'll just be by her side through whatever happens.

I appreciate & thank you all just for prayers.

I Thank all of you.

Marty :(

Marty,

I dont know what to say other than my thougths and Prayers are with you and Odie. I lost my brother in law about 12 years ago to cancer. He was only 30 at the time. I still think about him although I'm not still married to his brother anymore. Is Odie having to do kemotherapy?
I will keep both of you in my prayers and I wish the best for you. I hope if anything, that you know that there are people praying for her quick recovery and that all will be A O K in the end!!!! Please keep us up to date on the situation. God Bless Ya'll!!

Marty the same goes for me with what all the others said. i hope very much everything works out very well. we'll keep praying for you and your lovely wife. hang in there man, everything will be ok. you gotta have faith.

I'm sorry
 

Marty, I am so sorry to hear this. My grandmother went through this a couple years ago. She had to have one breast removed and part of her spline, liver and pancreas. It was also in her LYmph nodes throughout her entire body. I am happsy to say that she came through it with flying colrs and is doing great know. Granted she has more frequent and thourough checkup's but it will be ok I promise. My prayers are with the both of you. I know how you feel and its hard but everything will be ok.

Brad

my prayers are with you marty.......odie is a great person and i wish her luck,i'll be praying for both of you

i agree with tod ,just do your best to keep your faith.......whenever i'm faced with a situation in my life that i know i don't have any control over......it helps me to think that there are things in life you just have to believe that god will take care of you..............fear and faith can't live in the same place.............

i wish her luck and trust that god will take good care of her

Hoping for the best
 

We're all hoping for the best possible out come. I know that we her in MW have the both of you on our minds and in our prayers. Please let us know the results.

Rev

Marty I'm sorry to hear that
I hope she gets well soon

I wish I had some perfect words to give you in this situation, but I don't. I may not be the religious type, but I'll certainly be hoping for a happy conclusion to all this. Just gotta hang in there, and keep fighting.

Best Wishes,

Kell

people, i thank you all for your prayer's and well wishes, i just dont know what to say, i have never had a feeling like this, except when my mom passed away ,but this is really a humbeling experiance, this one really hurts.god bless all the mw people.sorry if i sound like i am a cry baby,this just knocks me to my knees.i will talk to yall in a few day's or so.

I feel for you, i pray that noone has to go through what my little bro went through, he died at 21 yrs old (this past nov) from lymphoma, he had complications with respiratory though, her cancer is very treatable, even curable, just be there for her in every way possible, and be strong for her.

just ask questions, look up things on the internet, always know what the doctors plans are.

Good luck to the both of you, Odie and Marty! I'm sure everything will turn out just great for you guys and Odie will be as happy and healthy as ever in a short time! Cancer is a very scary thing. It's definitely normal to be scared, but you have to show your strength and courage through that fear, and be confident that Odie's health will be restored. Marty, be strong through this, and do everything in your power to keep Odie's spirits high and her thoughts positive.

I'm sorry I didn't see this thread sooner. I've been off the boards for a couple days. Good luck to both of you on Tuesday. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

wow. That has got to be tough. I will pray that everything goes well for u two. There is never any right thing to say in this situation all u can do is to be there by odies side and that is all that maters. U will defenitly be in my paryers. Take care marty I sincerly hope everything turns out well for u and ur wife.

I just went through your experience with a very close friend. She had breast cancer in one of her breasts. She had a really tough time, but she has made it just fine. It has been two years now and she is cancer free. We have such wonderful medical technology these days. I hope and pray for the very best for you and Odie.

OMG, Marty! I've been away from the board too, (took an online weekend writing workshop that had me hopping), so when I came back today and scanned the threads, yours was the one I jumped on first!

I just had surgery myself Dec. 3 to remove several lumps, but mine were benign. I know how scared I was, not just of possible cancer, but I'm terrified of needles and knives, etc., so I know EXACTLY how you guys feel!

The name of the game is catching this crap early so the doctors can do something. Sounds like that's what Odie's situation is, so as mentioned before, have a little faith. Also, there really isn't much you can say, so don't beat yourself up trying to solve everything. My sweet husband was with me before and as I woke up from my surgery, and just knowing that really did help me. I knew he couldn't do any more for me, and Odie knows you can't do anything for her but be there. So you're doing the right and best thing by just being there for her.

You need to be confident (for her sake) even if you have to fake it. I know that's probably easier said than done since you're maybe just as scared as she is. I'll pray for you guys, and please give Odie my regards and well-wishes. Take care of yourself, too, Marty...that's an order!

I would like to thank each and everyone for you prayers and good wishes, todays the day, I feel good about al of this even though it has been a hard thing to swallow in one week. I want to thank each and all for being here for Marty, and myself hes been great, I know that its been hard on him and like a lot of you said I just need him by my side, This isn't the first operation I have been through but sure hope its the last, not to many parts left for them to take anymore, but he is my rock, and has brought me through some tough times, I not going to say that I am not scared this time because I am but I am also not going to let this get me down, I have meet a bunch of great people here and I want to come back in full forse and show Marty I can beat his posts, hahaha well again thank you all so much and keep Marty on his toes don't cut him to much slack. OK :):D

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God's hands be on you in your time of need.

I am so sorry to hear the news. 2 Years ago I had to have breast surgery. They doctors thought I had a 50/50 chance of having cancer. They found a large mass on my breast bone. They could not see it good with the mammogram or the songram. And it was too deep for a biopsy. So I had to have the surgery. The good news was no cancer. I was only 26 and scared to death. I had that surgery to remove the lump then reconstruction. And I am not going to say it wasn't hard. It was a hard,painful surgery to recover from. But with the Doctors and technolgy we have today. I am sure your wife will recover to the fullest. I 'll be praying for her. God Bless Yall Deidra

well everyone it was about a 85% sucess the doc couldnt get it all,some had latched onto the veins towards her shoulder & maybe higher, he told me if he went any further it would have put her in danger ,so i guess it's chemo & radiation next,thank's for all of your prayer's, we appreciate it so much, im burned out ,so good night ,will update thank's all the mw peep's,ya'll are the greatest.thank's again, marty.

wow. Marty, Odie..i'm speechless. So sorry to hear . I knew you said Odie had cancer, but i was out for a couple of days, didn't see anything about it on blue, so i figured you would keep us up. Then i found you over here.

I won't tell you my sisters story..she is fine. Just know that my prayers are with you two, cause its gotta be just as hard on you Marty , as it is on Odie. Prayers really do help.;)

Can we get an update, please? How's Odie doin'?

crazy horse gt/gt lee:

I'm so sorry that I missed this thread earlier. This happened because it was posted on GC2 and Nicolle does such a fine job with this forum that I only check in once a week - or less.

To give this thread an even wider audience, I'm copying it to the Blue Oval Lounge.

Odie, Marty; please know that I'm very happy - and relieved - to read that Odie came through the operation in good shape and that the prognosis is promising. I pray for complete recovery, of course.

I certainly wish you both the very best and Marty, I want to commend you for being a fine example of how a man should respond to his wife in times of crisis. You've been Odie's rock and support all the way and that is as good as any medicine any doctor could prescribe.

Odie/Marty; I admire both your devotion to each other and your mutual strength, as do all of our members who have followed this story.
You're a good example for anyone here who has yet to grasp the true meaning of love and committment.

Odie is a fine lady and with her positive attitude and strength of character she'll be a winner.
All of us on MW are rooting for you Odie and we'll be watching the forums to see how you're progressing. Please accept our love and best wishes for recovery and a future so bright, you'll need to wear shades. :D

My heart and prayers are there for you and your family. I wish you the best of luck. My fingers are crossed, just try to stay strong especially for her sake.

God Bless,
§am

crazy horse gt and gt lee, I don't know you two personally, but I really care about you two and I hate that you have to go through this. I cannot express how I feel by writing on a message board. I'm truly sorry I can't physically do much to help you, but I will sincerely pray that she will make a full recovery.

Both, of you are still in my prayers.

Jamal

MR 5 0:

I appreciate you putting this on the Lounge.

I don't know really know what to say except I love this 'Stang site; it's like a family to us and I respect your opinion more than anything. I want to thank each & every one of you.

I feel like everyone here should all live in the same neighborhood - it would be so cool.
I know that I was goofing around trying to get 1000 posts but that is all trivial to me now.

I thank you all very much & yes, I believe that it is all up to our Lord Jesus Christ; I'm just on my knees...it's His answer, not mine - or anybody else's.

Thanks again everyone. I'll pray for each & every one of you also. Good night.

Marty & Lee .:)

OMG!! You are all definitely in my prayers.
It's always the good people that get screwed! I don't understand it.

Keep the faith; everything will work out in the end.

Best wishes,
Jonathan.

GET BETTER SWEETIE!!!

Sorry
 

Hey man sorry to here about that, My prayors are with you and your family.
