Hi Len, You have found the perfect place with the best people to help you through your journey. I don't post much anymore, but I check in daily to keep up with everything. Your post caught my eye because of the info you posted. We live in Sacramento and have been married 42yrs with one daughter and two grandgirlies (our pet name for them.) Richard finished treatment Feb 2009, so he's two years out. The treatment was the most difficult and trying time for both of us. You'll have to dig deep and endure the treatment, while your wife will watch you go through it and suffer because she loves you. It will be painful for her as a caregiver and you as the patient, but it will bring you closer. Please come to this forum and ask questions. We are all here to help. You can stay informed and know what questions to ask and how to handle problems that come up during treatment.
Richard had a Peg put in before treatment and was glad for it. He continued to drink milkshakes and water through the treatment.
We were lucky that he healed up quickly and we were able to resume our "new normal" life. We started back hiking in the Sierras and Yosemite, most recently Half-Dome. We still get nervous before check-ups but the farther out we get it's a little easier.
So, there is so much to look forward to and to live for. You just have to get through the treatment and a few weeks after to emerge from the tunnel.

If you ever want any info or feedback, you can e-mail or call us. I would be happy to answer any questions your wife might have.

Best of luck...Geri
