What a good partner @kostak. The fact your here seeking support is terrific. There is a closed metastatic group here too if you or your wife needs to join that. Yes it's all a bit hard but my best advice is to try to stay in the present moment and not get too far ahead of yourselves.
Stat's aren't helpful and I don't think they are as accurate as they could be because up until recently there hasn't even been a way to count the number of people in Aus with breast cancer metastasis. Don't give up hope. There are new treatments coming. Sounds like you have the treatment plan. You can always ask about clinical trials too.
I know google is tempting and I have been guilty of looking too but I think sometimes it's just better not to look, just stick with your treatment team as you just need to have a break from all the cancer stuff. You're already investing so much time with treatment and supportive therapy that it just takes over.
If you wife is up to it, go for gentle walks, spend time in nature, picnics or whatever you both like to do together. You do need time out as well. What do you do for yourself? I have metastatic disease and my hubby is awesome with my treatment etc but he goes fishing every fortnight on a beach to just have a break and clear his head.
Does your wife have any counselling? It does help alot too. Great way to vent and express how you feel. It is a real emotional roller-coaster and having someone to talk to outside the family can also be good.
Ask any questions here. It's is a great group and great support. I hope you and your wife have a good day.
