My wife is being treated for stage 3 breast cancer. It is survivable, but oh, the journey to get there is a devil.

Prayers for your wife's complete recovery, and her remaining cancer free.

My youngest son, age 48 at the time (2019), was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer. They did two resections, took out about 90% of his colon, and about 70 lymph nodes. He's lucky he didn't end up with a colostomy. He went through 6 months of two different types of chemo, and remains cancer free.

My wife had a mastectomy a year ago. Stage 1.

We’re not very impressed with the establishment. She found out yesterday that there were supposed to be follow up MRI’s a few months ago which she was never told about.

You’re right about the journey.

God Bless your honey, she can make it! I finished chemo in Dec for stage 4 breast cancer which metastised in my liver. Chemo is very barbaric but it worked so far, as of last scan there are no cancer markers. Now am on immunotherapy for a few more months and am getting back to feeling semi normal, whatever that is, teeheehee. God got me this far, he ain’t done yet!
I asked the doc when do I get to ring that ‘proverbial’ bell? LOL, she said in Sept, I warned her that it IS going to be a production, teeheehee.
