One thing I have learned is that the guys on this site support each other in amazing fashion, especially since most of us have never met in person and only have one thing in common. My family has been having a rough go of it in general for a few years now, and we are at another bump in the road of life.
My wife has had mini-strokes for several years. They discovered 2 aneurysms in her head about 2 years ago. About 3 weeks before Christmas, her neurosurgeon called to inform her that the last CT showed they had grown and are now operable. We have an appointment with him on 1-3 to discuss the surgery. A week after that, she had another mini-stroke and the next day our oldest daughter died. As a little "frosting on the cake", my PSA was up again and if it is up in February, I will probably be doing my 2nd biopsy in 2 years. I'm not overly concerned, but that is looming on my wife's mind also.
So, we would appreciate your moral support and prayers. Our family needs something positive to happen in the next few months.

Re: Moral support requested
Surgeons are now capable of performing in the mirical range. Trust her surgeon and stay close to your wife throughout her recovery. There is a lot of evidence that personal encouragement plays a major role in the recovery process.

Re: Moral support requested
Good Day Dave,
You are carrying a heavy load. Glad this way to chat is helpful. Hopefully you have a friend with whom you can meet...caregivers must look after themselves or they will be of no help to their loved ones. Also write out what you are feeling in a journal or on your computer...that way you can leave those feelings there and get on with some other things. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
