I am glad to hear things are at least moving forward. The end result is often different than the desired result but stagnation never solves the issue(s). It has been said that time heals all but the truth, in my opion, is that time does nothing without some effort (on both parts). You are so right, this is a lonely disease. Even in the arms of those you love the most, there is still a sense of loneliness when the disease implications enter the thought process. Life is never the same as before cancer but it doesn't have to be different than what you want it to be...you just need to have the resolve to make it that way! As Jimmy Valvano historically said, "NEVER GIVE UP".
Kind regards,
Ed

I'm quite new to this board and my husband is just at the start of his treatment so I lack perspective about all you two have gone through and am afraid I've no advice to give. Still, I could not let your post go by without replying. I just wanted to let you know that there is another person out here praying and pulling for you. I hope that brings you at least a tiny bit of comfort.
