Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 531 | sorry about changing the topic of the thread didn't mean to at all it was just that so much emphasis is placed on numbers and well yeah there are such things as odds but I more believe in fate and what will be will be...it is like a tornado will destroy one house and leave the next alone and it is also about choices...we have no control on some things it is just life sure numbers can help but no guarantees not for anything really ...oh thanks for the support and again sorry for changing topic.

My fiancee took such good care of me during my treatment. I did not have the tx your wife is having and I believe hers will be harder. However, this made our relationship even stronger. Know that she will need you to be strong for her.
And I agree with everyone else. Every person is different and reacts differently to treatment. You can help her by being a positive force in her life.
