My friend's husband goes with her to all of her chemo treatments, some of them (like today's) are 7 hours long. He reads aloud to her or he rents movies and shows them to her on a portable DVD player.
She couldn't do this alone and he wouldn't let her do it alone. And they don't even have little kids to worry about.
This is pure selfishness on John's part.
Blind ambition.
I'm thinking things will change once the treatment starts. Some doctor needs to make sure Edwards is aware of what is ahead of them. Perhaps doctors are afraid to let him know because he'll likely sue them, I don't know, but to think you can "manage" brest cancer when it has gone this far is insane.
