My mother in law died of breast cancer, but it took three rounds and a dozen years for it to win. Given weeks to live, she lasted almost 2 years in the final round.
My wife found out she had a small lump the same week that MIL found her third round. So far, thank God, she’s had clean health reports.
If you catch cancer early, it’s a very winnable battle. If you catch it late (Mom’s third round) or ignore symptoms (her first round) then your prognosis can be pretty grim....
Prayers for you, your wife and the rest of your family.
A very hard road, indeed.
