Hi Joe, my prayers and understanding go out to you and your wife. My wife is a 4 time cancer survivor. When she was diagnosed, she was told she had a 20 % survival rate. Like your wife, mine is also a fighter, and she was determined that she was in that 20 %. She lost all but 7 inches of her colon ( next step is the bag ). She had a hysterectomy, and some of her lymph nodes removed. She has undergone, at the time, every chemo treatment they had plus radiation. She has been cancer free for almost 9 years now. I really believe that part of the cure is in the head. When accompanying my wife to the chemo treatments, you could almost tell the ones who were not going to make it, and who the fighters were. Give your wife all the encouragement and hugs she can stand, and tell her to keep up the good fight. Bless the both of you. Dave
