My world is crashing
Mesophilic:
Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words and support more than I can express.
Got back from the hospital in Albuquerque a little bit ago. Doc says stage 4 breast cancer metastasis in the liver. No surgery and no cure.
Next step is a biopsy and a bone scan.
Doc seems optimistic though that this can be managed with medicine and monitoring. Definitely not talking terminal right now, she said it's more complicated with the breast cancer metastasis than other cancers and they can't say how many years, but we don't have to worry about end of life plans for now. Told us about patients she has that have done real well.
What she didn't say was how many didn't make it. I've been around the block and I know how ths ends. Statistics even show that we have a 28 to 29% chance of making it five years. I know this will kill my wife...but it also means there's a chance of being on of the 28 to 29% of women who do stick around longer.
But I'm keeping the above to myself and letting my wife be happy with this small victory.
I tell you, guys, that small things never meant so much to me as they do right now. Sunrises and sunset are more beautiful than they've ever been and time with my family has never meant as much as it does now.
I left the Marines but the Marines never left me in alot of ways...I will be that rock, Pearl !!!
