Thank you for all the positive responses. Radiation 1,2 & 3 were non eventful, 1st chemo was non eventful even 3 days later. I believe we have a great team of doctors who all are very optimistic. DW has has some pain and some nausea from the pain meds but she's off to a good start. I have offered to be there 24/7 and to take her to all of her treatments but she wants her way. I'll be at all of the doctor visits and some more chemo. Radiation treatments take 5 minutes and her mom is good for her. It is terrible timing but we've gotten over the initial shock and focusing on a healthy future.

Coz

BTW....I've promised her a trip to anywhere her heart desires as soon as she's healthy enough and has the desire.

Coz, sorry to hear about the bad news and we are wishing for a great outcome. Great to hear treatment is started and the first sessions went will.

If things get stalled, remember MD Anderson is not too far south of Oklahoma if you want another opinion on treatment.

Blessings to you and your family as you deal with your DW's illness. A lot of progress has been made over the past several years, so there is a lot to be hopeful about. Do enjoy the time you have together... Since DW's diagnosis we've travelled a lot between treatments & make a point to get together with friends & loved ones more than ever. Every day we both wake up is an excellent day- no matter what. All you can do is he there for her.

I lost my DH to cancer after he was my hero thru my own stage 3 breast cancer. I believe His love saved me. Please take very good care of yourself as well. My heartfelt prayers for good health are with you and your wife.
