We didn't have the regular oncologist but his Physicians Assistant and she was more detailed in her responses and Ken got pretty freaked out. His regular doctor has always been real positive and knows we don't want prognosis. She came right out and told Ken he would never be cured but to treat it like a chronic illness. I knew that but Ken didn't and now he is pretty depressed. I told him stable is very good after 3 treatments. Hopefully when he gets over the shock he will feel better and ready to fight some more. Thanks for the prayers they are working! |
The chronic illness means not terminal. That is what they told me when my dh was diagnosed. I though about it a while and I asked... like being diabetic? If you take care, eat right, take meds, go for check ups you will be ok. Our doctor said, that was a great analogy! So I would say that is good news!!
