Hello @lbern I am sorry to read of your prognosis. I appreciate how you defined cancer for yourself. Definitely many different aspects to this terrible disease.

I remember how drastically our lives changed the day my wife was told her diagnosis of brain cancer. It not only rocked, but completely changed, her world along with the world of each member of our family.

Cancer can mean so many different things, especially since each person, each tumor, each situation is unique. Cancer is definitely not a 'one size fits all' disease for sure!

While she fought every day, cancer, to her, also meant many losses, isolation, anxieties, and significant debt.

I hope all goes as well as can be hoped for you.
Stength, courage, and peace!

thank you to all replies to me, I feel a kinship with those that have gone before me and hope to gather strength from honest recounting of what it's like to slowly (or maybe not so slowly) deteriorate. I realize it's not the way many others would want to spend their lives, I do my best to enjoy each day, but I cannot avoid that time clock is always ticking in my head. I feel so much to do to help and prepare my family who always leaned on me and so little time left!
