I am so scared

[Ironingisthebaneofmylife]

DH is having an Orchidectomy for Testicular Cancer tomorrow. Just over 4 weeks since he found the lump - it turned out to be a cyst but was sitting on top of a 1cm 'something else' which the consultant is suspicious of.

This is the first time in 4 weeks I have said it, and I'm not sure why I'm choosing to say it here. I am scared. Scared my whole contented life is about to come crashing down around my ears. Scared for me, for him, for DD, for what comes next.

I know what his chances of recovery are, that its very treatable, that the prognosis for someone in his 30's is pretty good. Just have this ball of dread in my stomach that I can't quite shake.

I'm not surprised you are worried! I would be too. I hope your husband is ok. Even though it sounds like it should be ok it's the not knowing that must be so stressful.

Good luck for you both tomorrow (today!)

Really hope things go well for you all, and it turns out to be nothing.

It’s probably not helpful, but do try not to worry :) It won’t change anything, after all. You’re doing all you can to be supportive, and your DH is getting medical assistance (so many people don’t do that until it’s too late! For all kinds of conditions and symptoms, I mean), so fingers crossed for the best for you all :) Will be thinking of you!

(I hope that’s come across kindly, as intended- I never know what to say, but didn’t want to read and run)
