I agree with Cheryl. Tell her how you feel. I think she is in denial about the situation and is trying to protect herself from the whole issue. I get that. She sounds terrified about the whole process and prognosis and doesnt want to deal with it. Maybe she is scared of losing you. But , you do need to talk about this. Both of you do. I would expect a Spouse to be there and to be supportive. You need her to be your rock. Tell her that.
Thinking of you, Tammy
