I had the worst week and he greatest day yesterday.

Thanks everyone...I was afraid to post it...but it really meant alot to me.
 
Most people just don't understand what a huge part of life sports is for most of us. That was a great story! Glad to hear things turned out okay. Enjoy your trip to Canton, you will remember it forever.

Please forgive me if this is in the wrong forum...but here goes.... I am a 39 yr old man who lives in NY and have been a dolphin fan for the last 30 years. I am married with 2 boys ages 5 and 3 and have them already covered from head to toe with dolphin gear. Every year me and my brother play hooky from work and go down to training camp for a few days. This year is even better because not only are we going to training camp but right after we are driving to Canton to go to Dans' induction...our boys and wives will be joining us for that. It has been a trip we have planned for months and means alot that our sons can be there for something we deem as special.
The problem began last week when I went to a uroligist for a regular checkup and 2 days later was told to come back right away for another blood test. I was curious but not really scared. MY PSA level(prostate) was extremely high for someone my age. I had to take another blood test and it also came back high...so I then had to immediately get a biopsy(an extremely uncomfortable procedure). The doctor then informed me that we would have to wait about 5 days for the results...but if they came back bad...I had to have radical surgury(removal of my prostate). Now I was scared...and he informed me that it would have to be Monday...the day I would leave for training camp and my Canton trip!. I informed him I didn't care...the trip was important to me...and now even more so. He told me how important it was to do this right away...and the trip would have to wait.. I told him to wait till the results and then we would decide. I spent 5 days just being so scared ...and holding my boys..and wondering how much my life as I know it would change.
I would get home from work...and sit...by myself while my family slept...and I cried. I would read some posts from here about training camp and it would relax me..picturing myself being there...worrying more about our QB situation..Ricky coming back...then thinking about would I be there for my family and be a Dad for my boys. One night I was just sitting in a chair just really freaking out...when my 5 yr old woke up and came to me..and asked why I was crying...and I told him because I loved him...and he told me he loved me too...and everything was going to be ok(he had no idea what was wrong).
Well I got the results on the phone first thing Fri morning...and the DR only said to me....go enjoy your Dolphins and say Hi to Dan for me...everything is ok...just need to go back to be tested every few months(family history). I blasted the radio and danced with my boys and cried......and said a prayer of thanks. My wife told me that she would have insisted that I go regardless of the test results(I know why I love her).. So I am off the training camp on Monday for a few days then off to Canton to see Dan. I feel lucky and reborn a bit...and so appreciative that I can share this special day with my family. I am sorry that this is so long...but I have so much still built up in me and need to vent...and to Thank the special people who gave Camp reports and helped me keep my sanity. Hopefully I can thank them in person when I am there next week.
