Doing well. We've not seen the cancer for 10 months (not for lack of trying) and I'm enjoying an international trip for pleasure!

Glad to hear! After losing my wife to cancer (highly aggressive brain tumor, she only had six weeks), I'm happy that you had the time, resources, strength, will to take cancer by the lurven

Not my thread, but I just wanted to express my condolences for losing your wife. That must be so tough. My wife is my best friend and I cannot imagine how painful it would be for me to lose her or vice versa.

I’m praying for you both and hoping that you’ve found peace and comfort since she passed. And I hope that you are doing well. I know she would be proud of you for keeping on!

I am so sorry that you had to go through this tragic event, Here's a hug my friend, that must've been incredibly tough on you, I am not religious but I know that She is in Heaven and watching you from above and she will always be within your heart and all the cherished memories you had together.

Yea, it is incredible to see what could be accomplished with time and technology.

Someone in my immediate family had Glioblastoma, it felt like fighting a hurricane.

So sorry to hear that. I'm providing caretaking for my mother, who has GBM now, and we've been lucky to get to month 15 now. It's such a difficult disease to grapple with.

Fantastic. Wishing you all the very best. A very close family member just with Stage 4 just got the pass for the next 3 months. We're 3 years in now. For them, the immunotherapy seems to be working, the radiotherapy has actually left the area affected worse (althogh we'd have never known the outcome if it wasn't tried, so it was a price worth taking).
