Hey, Clown, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know it's a tough time for you and your wife but it is beatable. The good news is that it isn't in her lymphnodes. The radiation and chemo treatments can be tough from what I understand but it's do-able. The lady across the street is going through the chemo treatments now. Each person may experience the treatment differently but she pretty much just experiences tiredness. Know the after effects. I had thyroid cancer and by knowing what to expect after the treatments I knew I was "normal" for what was happening to me.
I think the best thing if you want my
is to know the unknown. By finding out what's to be expected through the course of treaments I think there'll be less stress involved. Let your wife get lots of rest. What we do for this family across the street is we organized a schedual that friends and neighbors cook dinner for her 3 times a week. We've been doing this for the past 2 months. I offer to help shop and I've been driving their kids to camp and what not when I can to help out. It might be awkward for you to ask of this from your friends and family so you might be able to ask a friend to help organize it. We did it through emails. Not only does this help out by letting her rest but also monetarily since she won't be working and groceries cost $$.
Perhaps finding a local breast cancer support group will help out psychologically and also they may be able to give some ideas to help out. If anything, it's nice knowing you're not going through this alone. In our area there is a local group that gets together once a month to talk out issues.
I hope all works out with your wife's treatments. Best wishes and prayers for you and your wife.
