Oh, Charm. I am so sorry to hear this. Your posts have been so helpful to me and I'm sure to countless others. I really appreciate the wry, tough way you address challenges but I've also been deeply moved by your kindness and empathy. You will fight this and you will beat it because that's what you do.

I wish I had some wonderfully wise advice to help your wife. For what it's worth, I think what will help the most is having a plan in place and getting back in the fight.

Keep the faith, Charm. You have an awful lot of people in your corner.
