cancer makes no sense
I'm so sorry for the loss, Tricia. I mean really, sorry. Cancer doesn't make sense. In many ways it is not a disease of logic-which is why we haven't found a cure. Although recent advances have begun to reveal more about how it works and that is good, but often, sadly, not good enough, huh?
Remember how many of us there ARE who have lived a long time with liver mets (I'm 5-7 years out from liver mets-a little question as to when they actually started) and have great quality of life. There are many others. But I also know none of that makes a bit of difference to someone who has lost someone. take your time grieving and take care of yourself.
