    My significant other is also undergoing radiation after surgery for breast cancer. Fortunately in her case it was caught very early, so chemo is not necessary. I believe I understand what the both of you are going through. I wish you the very best for the future!:rose:

      Cancer is a @#$%. I hope you both come through this OK. :rose:

        I sincerely hope ... assuming your message is about your wife having, or facing, cancer ... that the best happens for you both, with you both. When I had cancer, the essay by Stephen J. Gould, "The Median is not the Message," was very helpful to me [^] in making sense of the prognosis: the survival rates, etc. The essay has helped many people strengthen their positive, most rational, ways of thinking ... that's as important for the family members as it is for the person with cancer. Gould wrote the article after he had cancer, and he survived that cancer, and lived another twenty years. take care, Bill

        «When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

        That's my immediate problem... Everyone crying now... She is crying because it eases her fear. The kids are crying because she is crying. I'm crying because everyone else doing so... I just looking the way to get back to the most normal life (family, friends, work) we can and put the cancer to the side and let the doctors do their best... (fortunately we can pay for private doctors too if that what is the best)

          My better half is starting radiation therapy next week, after surgery for breast cancer. Fortunately it was caught very early, so chemo is not necessary. This was something of a shock, as I always assumed I would be the first to go. Anyway, I understand your pain and her fear. I know it is easy to say, but try to keep your spirits up. I will be rooting for the both of you!:rose:

              Good Luck!

              What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

                      :rose: My mother is a breast cancer survivor. As OG said, caught early enough, survival rates are really quite good. Also, my mother has been overweight for 30 years, and a smoker for longer, so chances are your better half is in way better health. Best wishes to you and yours.

                        Now it obvious that 6 hours is just a bit more than eternity... However I would do extreme effort to keep on enjoying Garfield and other silly things... I think it's only helps...
