Hello to you both. I have been a member for a while but rarely post, however, seeing your posts prompted me to respond.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with stage four metastasized cancer. I had so many cancerous tumors that it would be easier to list the places where there were none then where they were. My doctor never spoke in terms of “cure” just that we were fighting to “extend” my life for a few months. At the time my 74th birthday was just 6 months away and I asked if I was going to see it, he looked at the floor for a very long time before saying, “Let’s hope so, ok?”
I know the journey that you are both taking, you will have good days and you will have bad days. Enjoy the good days and let the Lord handle the bad ones as He will always be there for you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as will be your loved ones it’s tough on them too. May God bless you and keep you strong, may His loving care give you many more birthdays to come.
Oh, did I mention that not only did I see birthday 74, but I breezed past 75 and I am now looking forward to 76? With the Lord’s help, I beat it and so can you. Be well.

Sounds like the conversation we had with the Oncologist yesterday.
Thank you so much for your encouragement, your prayers, and the lovely post.
