    Thanks to all of you.  It is sort of a good news/bad news situation. 

    The original fear of colon cancer has been changed to a diagnosis of Crohn's Disease.

    Even though that is better news, she is very depressed.
    She now faces 50 or 60 years of this misery and sees her ambitions of becoming the senior engineer in her company flying out the window.
    The drugs she will be taking cost more than $30,000 a year, but for now her company plan and our government medical will cover all of it. 
    Eventually she will be paying 4 or 5 thousand herself.
    They have two very young children who she now fears for as well.  Colon cancer runs in her family and is a concern.
    She just feels so sorry for her husband and fears for the pressures it will put on their relationship.

    She is just starting out and it seems so unfair.  I wish I could trade with her.

    Wow sorry to hear this. I have a buddy that has crohns and had a chunck of bowel removed and he seems much better now, but for a couple of years he was in agony. Not a nice disease, sorry to hear this.Hopefully the doc's can manage it well and give her some comfort.

    As horrible as that disease is, it is often manageable.  A lot depends on the person and their diet and their ability to be consistent.  I have several members of my family who have it including my mother and sister.  There are lots of information on the net about it.  Much more then you will get from a doctor.   I know she is going through a lot right now but maybe you can educate yourself as much as possible and pass some information on.  Once she is ready please forward these links to her.  Its not easy but there is no reason for her to give up on her dreams yet or ever.  imho

    Please forgive me if I am coming off too strong.
    Good luck and I will keep her in my prayers.

    Not too strong at all, Doug.  Thanks so much for the words of encouragement.
    I will definitely take your advice, thanks.

    My husband has Crohn's and even though there have been some bumps in the road, he is living a very productive life with it for at least 30+ years. Tell her to not 'pre-think" the outcome.

    Thanks, Judy.

    At this point she is in a pretty negative frame of mind.

    I'm just trying to support her now.
    I just hope that time and support will change her outlook.

    She will and she will for weeks, but she will learn and the more she learns the better she'll feel.  Just keep her spirits up as much as you can right now.  imho
