Just curious - how is everyones family handling this?

6. slip, I think I understand what you're saying.

I think the clinging on to there is some hope mode is a good way of describing what the care givers go through.

I can not imagine, in my wildest dreams, what the person with cancer is thinking while facing this. As I've said to others,

"No matter what, it's not like a broken arm that gets set or a cut that gets stitched and then everyone walks out of the doctors office

to just wait for healing." It's an ongoing,constant feeling in the heart that things can change in a moment, usually for the worse.

It's hard to face that each day.

I'll give some background to this. My wife was diagnosed in August 14. September gave us a stent that went septic and 7 days in hospital, October gave us a liver embulisation three days in hospital, November gave us 5 regimins of chemo,4.5 hours at a shot, December is right here and you know where we're at at this point in time. We wait, right now, we wait and hope for tomorrow to bring good news but we've all watched the good news fade to black and hope for us it turns out different. (I can't believe i just wrote all that and I'm not going to delete it)

I'm not taking any sleep helpers or anxiety calmers either, but who knows what will happen in two day or three.

You all in this little section of forum are my strongman. Thanks.
