6. I think of the two of you often

IMO, you and your wife of two of the bravest people in the world. The strenght of your love for each other will get you through this and your friends in this group will be here for you.

Cancer is horrible and no one should ever have to go through it. My Christmas wish every year for at least the last 12 years is to take what we spend on defense (banks are now included) and spend it on research to find a way to cure cancer, AIDS and all other horribe diseases. It is just plain wrong to spend billions killing people and treating corrupt businesses like they were God's gift to the human race when we could be making the world so much better.

I am thankful you and your wife have insurance and also can make the co-pays. So many do not. It's a blessing and I am thankful your wife will recieve the treatment she needs. Hang in there. Many years ago they used to sell a stress ball. When you would shake it the sound you would hear is shattering glass. It was a release.. Too bad they don't make them anymore.
