Bro....don't know what to tell you or to say

I believe in miracles

Try a sugarfree diet with plenty turmeric, soursop and see if it prolongs life...

I know, as I said, hard to give any advice...go in healing mode....meditation

Sorry to hear the tough news bro. It cannot be easy to accept that a loved one is in severe medical distress.

You have to quickly get past the initial jolt and make a plan. The people you want to help you make the plan must be optimistic relatives, cancer survivors and doctors.

Sir do not give up. Getting her and yourself in a positive frame of mind. Lean on your inner circle group, they will offer unrelenting support. Research a diet that is tried and tested which can offer results. I strongly urge a plant based food regimen.

With respect to Curtis, there is evidence that tumeric may inhibit the body from absorbing drugs in the treatment of cancer.

57yrs! The news is not good , but well done both of you, but its not over.... 58, 59, 60 still ahead .

Its difficult but try to be positive , but keep good vibes in her presence.

I've had a few losses in the family this year to the same " devil" .

I noticed that 2 of the 3 went way past the due date because of happy ( contrived of course) family vibes.

The other .....the home was filled with obvious sadness /foreboding which made her feel burdensome , probably in
my opinion , hastening her demise

No doubt , you are reading, learning as much as you can for this battle .

Take a look at "Anthelmintic Drugs as Emerging Immune Modulators in Cancer"

Sorry to hear. Such news can be devastating. Might I share some info that may help you cope better?

Dealing with sickness

When a family Member is sick

When a loved one is terminally ill.

As always, you are on point with your assessment on Anthelmintic Drugs as Emerging Immune Modulators in Cancer.

On a bigger note, my thoughts and prayers go out to trev, his wife, family and friends. Cancer has got no friends and it affects us in many ways.

Strength is sometimes hard to find in times like these, so we will try...

 
trev114 2023-11-02 14:13:26 

Sincere thanks to all for suggestions, comfort and well-wishing....as I have absorbed the news over the past few days I am becoming more reconciled to the inevitable (how long no one can tell) and treasuring the memories of this Jamaican angel and her long standing love for this Bajan guy in spite of any flaws she may have seen...

How lovely!! Treasure every single moment Sir.

 
pooranian 2023-11-02 14:35:40 

Sorry to hear...stay strong..It's very tricky but better to stick to healthy diet to help in recovery..

Been in similar situation with my mom suffering 9 years back..

Im sorry to hear this even though i do not know you personally i have been in your position before you just have to spend the time with your loved ones and hope for the best for you and your wife

 
Cheeks 2023-11-02 15:09:23 

Hold strong bro and do your best to enjoy the time with your loved one. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. I am hoping and praying that medical expertise can at the very least keep her comfortable.

I can't imagine how difficult this must be for both of you. Not an easy road. I hope you and your wife have the chance to cherish every moment you have together. Thinking of you both.
