Eyes teared up just reading this….
My heart goes out to you and your wife.
My heart goes out to you and your wife.
I’m sorry you had to go through that!I lost my fiance years ago to an aggressive brain tumor. Nothing else can compare to this level of pain and helplessness in seeing the woman you love suffer through this. If there is anything I can do to help, please reach out. Prayers for you both, my brother.
Thank you brother!Fuck man. Knowing what I know of you, I know you wish you were the one diagnosed instead.
If I can offer any advice, having lost multiple loved ones to cancer as well, be strong for her and make her time in life incredible, and vent/cry/get angry with trusted friends/here. There’s a certain measure of guilt she’s gonna feel knowing she’s eventually leaving you alone.
There’s no way around it, this is the worst kind of news. Be strong, brother, and you’re in my prayers.
Thank you so much!The only thing I can do is tell you a story.. my buddy was diagnosed stage 4 Colon cancer.. didn't know anything was wrong.. they found it entirely by a fluke. He felt fine.. the treatments now are pretty advanced. He had surgery.. went through some bad times for a year or more. But its in remission. He feels good. There is hope for a long life with her. The advances in cancer move forward every year.. be positive with her and face it.. he did the same and it is working in his favor. Stay strong .. get all the options.
Thank you. She is looking into a place in Texas. We are in Seattle.I can't imagine. I don't know where you live but think of quickly going to UCSF in San Francisco or Sloan Kettering in New York. These are major research institutes/cancer centers and IF there's a way to give your wife an extended life, places like these are the answer. Stanford is another option. There are others as well.
My friends son, who was 29 several years ago, had 11 tumors removed at Sloan Kettering and is alive and well today! I had a customer roughly 20 years ago who had prostate cancer. He was told there was nothing to do. He went to Stanford and lived 2 years beyond what they even thought he could...I forget the total number of years they gave him. When they told him there wasn't anything more they could do, he went to UCSF...he lived another 7 years! I'm not trying to give you false hope but these are avenues I would explore ASAP!
Thank you, that means so much to us!Gosh...this really touched me deeply reading this. I am so unbelievably sorry. My cousin lost his wife two years ago (44) from breast cancer and I just cannot imagine. Life is so precious, short, and unpredictable. You will absolutely be in our families thoughts and prayers and I truly mean that. I am so, so sorry and pray for strength and courage for both you and your wife.
Thank you so much. I’m sorry to hear of your horrible loss!Truly sorry to read this. Prayers to you both and loved ones. Cherish what you have.
For what it's worth I lost my wife/mother of then both our small children 9 years ago. Please feel free to reach out if helpful. You'll walk the path alone but knowing that others have been there and are there to support can be helpful.
Man that made my eyes tear im.so so sorry. Enjoy ever second with her and as hard as it is don't think about out or talk about the futureToday was the worst day of my life and a day that will forever change my life.
my 41 year old healthy wife was diagnosed with strange 4 colon cancer that has spread to her lymph nodes. She had zero warning signs and the doctors said she has more than likely had it for several years. It’s not curable and can only be managed.
we have no idea how long she has. Being healthy will help but this is totally fucked up!
she is the nicest most caring person I’ve ever met and I’m totally devastated!
knowing you will not grow old with the person you love is the most horrible feeling I have ever felt!
