My husband also has cancer, lung cancer diagnosed late June which has spread to lining of lung thus making it inoperable. The oncologist gave him 3-4 months without treatment, but he is now on chemo to try to keep it in place and prevent it from spreading but was told months not years. Although we're both in our 70s, it just seems so unfair, we simply hadn't finished all we wanted to do and with one fell swoop our lives changed completely. When the oncologist gave him the prognosis, I said to him, I don't know how you do this job! I can't imagine anything worse than giving people a death sentence. But we soldier on, trying to make the best of each day and if it's a good day trying to go out and do something but it is just so, so hard to watch a loved one gadually fade and being so helpless to do anything about it. My heart goes out to all who are in this same situation, what can we do but soldier on!
