Don't give up. He needs you to be strong. It's been well documented that hope and a positive attitude has made big differences in people's recoveries or survival times. Be positive and motivate him to be positive and have hope.

And I've heard so many stories about these things turning around. You need to search out other cancer centers and doctors. See what else is out there. Don't accept this diagnosis without a fight.

At the same time, try to enjoy this time together as much as possible. Do what you can together what you might not do. Create a video journal. Take advantage of this time and live it to the fullest.

Wishing you the best...

Your death is not the answer to Bill's cancer. You should look everywhere for help.
Do NOT believe the 6 months either. It's a number like the ones on your liscense plate. My mom was given 2 weeks and stayed here with us for 2 years.
I've been diagnosed and am fighting the burns of radiation. Bill needs to think healthy, eat healthy and mostly Love and be loved while he is here.
If you and Bill don't mind I will pray for you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
