Cancer, or even the possibility of having something diagnosed with cancer, is an experience that no one will understand completely until they've gone through it. I don't mean that to sound arrogant or self righteous at all - seriously. I had become so callous to cancer diagnosis over the course of the last 15 years that to me it was just another right of passage like a first kiss or first beer. Sounds trite, eh? I guess it is just so (unfortunately) "common to man" these days that I was never surprised by hearing the news.

That was, until the Doctor looked at me and said "it's cancer"... That changes a person's world. I had melanoma, and it was (comparatively speaking) "no big deal." I can still only slightly relate to what you two are going through, but I'm very glad things are heading in a good direction.

Blessings to you and your wife!
