Finished 5 weeks of radiation...

I agree,  it seems that those who don’t really understand the treatment and continuous worries etc and are oblivious to the efforts you go through to get yourself back on your feet. Even family haven’t a real understanding of this terrible decease knocks you around. Like you guys my wife is going through the treatment stage and needs a second operation and really the only people who seem to stay in touch are our mothers and very very close friends, my wife’s best friend is 600 plus Km’s away and makes contact almost daily, she has spent 6 plus hours on a train to spend a weekend with her and if doing the trip again next week for a few days.

I wish I could do more but know I can’t but I’m with her for every appointment, operation, treatment trying to be both a caring husband and best friend, our two daughters also provide some fantastic support while our oldest son and other daughter don’t seem to have a care in the world.

Sorry for the rant…….. But I think I needed that :)

Fantastic to see you come through your radiation treatment @Jen029, once my wife has completed her second operation we understand she’ll be going through the five week plan of radiation. Keep up the positiveness and remember there are others here who do understand and know the amount of effort taken to date and moving forward.
