Sitting in on my wife’s first oncology visit was horrifying. (She had already had surgery.)
He took out a note pad and said, “If you do nothing, you will be gone in a year.”
“If you do chemo, 50% chance you’ll be around in 3 years.”
She is at 3 1/2 years. They don’t use the “cure” word. But, they’ve cut way back on scans and visits. Blood work every 3 months.
It is like having a sword over our head. But you learn to live with it.
I hope things continue to improve for you and your wife my friend. 🙏
