October 16, 2013 turned out to be the start of the biggest challenge me and Troy would face together. I took my data to my job in Plano, loaded it on their computer, finished any changes I needed to make and headed for home. We left shortly after I got home for Troy’s appointment. This was supposed to be an easy test, and after he woke up we were supposed to head home. But that’s not how it went down at all. He went back to the procedure room and then some time later the nurse came to get me. When I got back to where Troy was , he was moaning as if he were in a lot of pain. The words that came out of the doctors mouth were “I think your husband has cancer”. I felt my heart drop to the floor and was just sure I heard him wrong. I wanted to scream NO MY HUSBAND CANT HAVE CANCER!! Then he said he accidentally perforated his esophagus obtaining a biopsy. Troy was moaning, the nurse was getting on him about making noise and my head was spinning. This can’t be happening! NO!! I exited to the bathroom just to collect my thoughts and feelings. I was in such disbelief that this was happening. I wanted to scream and cry. I wanted a redo on the day. Can we please start over with a different end result. I know God was with me, otherwise I would have never made it. Thank you God. To be continued….
