My heart goes out to both of you..i, too remember going through a related experience— it is very, very hard….hopefully your surgeon can come up with some options and that quality of life can be a major part of their goals…look for options that both of you can get behind…sometimes palliative care even gives patients a ‘’2nd wind’’ , so i would not want to rule it out if it were me…you are a loving wife and I pray you can share some special times together in any case.

Wow! Thank you for those caring, understanding words.

I'm so sorry you went through a similar experience.

Our surgeon recommended palliative care. We're going to connect with them and see what they offer.

Also thinking of asking Mayo Clinic for a second opinion.

And I hope my husband and I continue to have treasured moments...if only I can stop crying. The tears started again this morning looking at these emails.

A friend is asking if everything is okay...we're keeping this latest turn of events to ourselves for a little while...so don't know how to respond...

Telling others is going to feel like reliving it over and over again.

Thank you and I wish you all the best.
