Thoughts and prayers going out to you and your wife.

Hoping for the best...

Best of luck to you and your family.

Thoughts and prayers, your way.

Dave, my wife Abigail is going through this very thing right now. She was diagnosed in July.

We are several rounds of chemo into it. It's tough.

She has a blog that she's been keeping of her experience:

Hope you find it helpful.

Survival rates are getting better with this all the time, don't let the numbers scare you.

And my prayers are sent towards your way as well.

This is horrible. Possitive thoughts going out to you and your wife and kids. I'm so sorry.

I hope things turn for the better soon, all the best to you and your wife.

I just said a prayer for you and your family. Let us know if we can do anything at any time

I don't pray very often, but I just did for you and your wife. Remain strong.

Done

I couldn't leave the board this evening without posting here, Mr. Vegas_Dave.

Just want to say that I am very sorry to hear of this. You, your wife, and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Words are almost useless in these situations, but I would encourage you not to pay attention to the statistics and just focus on taking things one day at a time.

God bless.

Puts everything into perspective doesn't it? We'll hold each of you up in our prayers.

Update Tuesday 1/27

After spending all day on the phone arguing with offices and receptionists etc... we finally made it into a breast specialist.

She said that she didnt think it was "likely" that it was IBC but seemed to base that solely on my wifes young age (26) and the fact that she was nursing. She felt that it was much more likely that the ER missed something on the ultrasound that they performed last week so she wanted to do her own ultrasound.

Well, just like in the ER, her ultrasound showed nothing. She still said that she felt "reasonably sure" that it wasnt IBC and guessed that it must be an infection related with nursing. She told my wife to stop breast feeding immediately and continue on the antibiotics because if there is bacteria in the milk, it gets reintroduced every time she nurses him.

Unfortunately, I was out of the room at this point as the 12 week old baby was fed up with the office as much as I was and so I was not there to dispute her and my wife didnt want to dispute as she was liking what she was hearing.

So for now, we are now in a holding pattern waiting for her milk to dry up to then see if the bacterial infection is what is really going on.

I still have a sick feeling in my gut about this and fear that we have just delayed the real issue with a dash of hope right now... my gut is usually as right as it is big... so a lot.

I really truly do hope that she is right<!-- / message -->

will keep your wife and you in prayer. also mr chris and his wife.
