Unfortunately the chemo works by poisoning all the cells of the body in the hope that the cancer cells die first and you can then be pulled back from the brink before all the cells die. A horrible procedure but it has worked many, many times. Let's hope he is lucky.

Yes, they say that 70% die from the chemo, but 100% die from the cancer if left untreated, so it's still an easy enough choice. (Numbers may change depending on type of cancer)
Fil was among the 70%.

Condolences. Had radiation that was not too bad. Father had chemo that almost killed him. (But gave him a few more months). Co-worker's wife is 90 pounds (US) after (during) both.

While I realize it sucks... having no medicine at all is even worse. My mother was diagnosed with a malignant inoperable brain tumor back in the fall of 1998. No chemo available and only limited experimental radiation. She was dead after 4 miserable months.
On the flip side my lovely wife is 4 years removed from breast cancer. The chemo / radiation was painful for her and difficult for me to watch but she's cancer free and going strong.

Yes, I'm aware of reality. Doesn't make it sting any less though.
Lost my mom four years ago in the same circumstances, I guess that's affecting me just as much.
Give your wife an extra hug tonight, knowing how lucky you are!

I know what you mean. For the last few months I have had a similar experience. The worst thing is that you can't do anything but wait.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

One of the worst diseases out there.
And unfortunately, one of the most common.
My grandma got diagnosed a few weeks ago as well, but luckily it looks like they will be able to cut it out and she'll be cured. Still sucks though.
My other grandma died from cancer.
Good luck and hang in there.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Sorry, man.
Medicine is definitely better than it used to be few yaers ago. However it is far from being perfect.

I think the phrase is "Feck cancer and all it's fecking 'pals'! Cancer can feck right off and when it gets there it needs to feck off some more. When it's finished fecking off it can feck itself as well!"
Fecking fecker fecking up our fecking lives!
If you recall, we went through this with Mrs Wife's father. All you can do is be there. You have to be your wife's rock and make sure everything that can be done for him, and the rest of the family, is done. Let your emotions go to the side and deal with them. And when it gets you down come here and have a real good SCREAM! We'll all listen and help where we can. Good luck and God bless.

Very well put.
We arrived at the hospital the last day he could communicate with us, and we were there every day until the end knowing and seeing that he could still hear and understand us.
God bless.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
