We just found out today (December 23) that my wife has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL). She's been struggling with back pain and anemia for a long time now, but nothing ever showed up on any bloodwork. Her platelets were dangerously low (at an 8...anything below 10 is critical and risks spontaneous internal bleeding).
We don't know much else right now other than life sucks. I have to tell our two kids that mommy won't be here for Christmas and I don't know what to say. Some of you have seen our little family on my wife's youtube channel that I posted here... I don't know what to do. I can't lose my wife. Some Christmas, huh. I am told she will be starting radiation and chemo immediately.
She is 37, and she already beat late stage papillary thyroid cancer 11 years ago right when I got back from my second tour in Iraq... she went literally through hell, massive neck surgeries and radiation, to beat that and we thought we were done with this crap... to get this news now, two days before Christmas, is too much for us.
Send us whatever prayers you have. We need everything.
Wish I would have bought a few hundred Bitcoins in 2011 so I wouldn't have to worry about paying the massive bills that are about to drop in my lap...
Sorry I just needed to vent and you all listen when I need it.
Keep us in your thoughts. I will update when I can.
Jim
