No more chemo

Well, we got the bad news today. No more chemo. The onc thinks her tumor load is large enough that it can't possibly do any good for her. Her counts are really bad, hemoglobin and platelettes both down a long way and that's without chemo for three weeks, and having blood and iron. So, we have no idea how long, probably another two weeks to two months. This has been the hardest year of my life, but I wouldn't give it up for anything in the world. I'm just a wreck right now.

    I am so sorry to hear this, yup, the wreck part soooooooo true, the helplessness ,the loneliness, it is sickening.
    I dread the day we face this news , however I know it will be sooner rather than later, it petrifies me.
    Enjoy every second of the time, be as strong as you can , but cry as much as you need.

    I hate this b*****d with every fibre of my being.
