Thanks for the reply. We (she) have now completed a week of treatment and fortunately no major issues so far. I’m so frustrated when I hear stories from people who feel like they have not had good experiences with the medical community. As a doctor myself, perhaps I am treated differently but our oncologists have both been very detailed about what to expect and made sure we were referred to a palliative care team to assess our needs. Although my insurance wouldn’t cover the University, it has paid almost everything else we have needed. I’m not sure if my wife will be a long term survivor but we are definitely trying to spend quality time. She is no longer the woman I married because this tumor has knocked out the best parts of her personality and that is heartbreaking. One way or the other we will try to make the time she has count.
