She has been seeing the doctor and she's been taking the pills. I know because as I said, I have met the doctor on one occasion when she was on an up period. After we married, she had to fill out some paperwork at the hospital where her doctor works for her name change. She needed my personal seal with our family name on it and called me to bring it and I met the doctor at that time. And I know she's taking the pills because she takes them in front of me.

The hope of her receiving help in America may not be that high, but it's certainly higher than her hope of getting better under this current system. And with all the other factors, remaining in Japan just flat-out is not an option. Not unless we want to struggle for the rest of our lives, put the onus of pressure on her for logistical and taxation support, and have very low chance of a decent retirement fund.
