I am so sorry to hear this. Continuing prayers for your family.

I have a dear friend that was recently diagnosed, and as others have said, there have been a lot of advancements recently.

My sympathies to you and your wife. Positive thoughts.

I'm am so sorry to see this. Sure hate to hear about anyone getting cancer.

My daughter went through it at 14 and then again (with a bone marrow transplant and the whole thing) at 21. She was told she would never have children. She is 28 and has two beautiful little girls. 3 and 1 yr old. She had Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I send my best to both of you.

So sorry to hear this. I, too, was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks back, and am willing to share with your wife if she wishes. It is a mind blowing, life altering experience, but I've learned much about the amazing things going on in the field, the specified types of treatment etc. Be sure to get a second opinion from a university based facility.

Prayers for you both.

Cheryl

That sucks. I have always said pretty much anyone is one serious illness away from being broke. You can make money back and it's worth nothing if you aren't around to enjoy it. Best of luck.

I have stage IV ovarian cancer. No surgery as I haven't had any ovaries for 20 years, and there are no masses in the abdomen. They are all in one lung, and a couple on the liver. Turns out I have been stage IV for at least 4 years unknowingly.

I would contact the American Cancer Society, as well as any cancer organizations that you can find for financial assistance. I know Huntsman Cancer Center in Salt Lake works with people financially as well. My brother goes to the veterans hospital next to UCLA, as doctors from UCLA go there and the cost is way less.

I'll talk around and keep my ears open at my next chemo infusion on July 2.

My heart goes out to you both. I'm SO glad she has you. This would be next to impossible to deal with without my wonderful hubby.
