It's Stage IV with multiple areas of spread to the liver, and perhaps his lungs as well. He has 3-6 months without treatment, 6-18 tops with aggressive chemo. He's going to fight, but I don't think he has a clue how miserable he's going to be.....this whole situation stinks on ice!!!
I can't believe it. This was supposed to be OUR time to live and enjoy life without kids, sick sisters and full-time work. Now he's going to leave me and I have to stay here......and I don't want to. The hell of it is, I can't do anything about it because my kids don't need to lose us both at the same time---it wouldn't be fair to them at all.
So, that's the news from here. Right now, I'm basically numb.....So much to think about, so little time.
