OP "Above & Beyond" Member (500+ posts) Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 711 | Linda is now fully informed of her ovarian cancer. It went just as badly as I feared. She was very angry that we had withheld that info from her for as long as we did, an I can't blame her for that. She has come to the point where she says she understands the reasoning behind the decision but she doesn't like it and neither do I. There's nothing about i8t to like. I'm sure some forum members disagree with us on this. We had no idea her hospitalization would last 2 months, we were thinking more on the line of a few weeks so it seemed reasonable not to tell her until her immediate crises was over but, every time things seemed like they were improving there was another crises. So now she faces 6 mos of chemo every 3 weeks. I feel horrible and wish I knew whether we had done the right thing bu I guess there's no easy answer for that.
