25. It seems they've made leaps and bounds in chemo and radiation therapy

My heart goes out to your husband - such an ordeal - and to you because you're suffering too watching a loved one endure so much pain.

A dear friend has just finished a second course of chemo and radiation and it seems like they have refined the treatment so that a cancer patient can still function to a significant degree. My friend has had a rough go, but he doesn't seem as weak or debilitated as I remember friends being in the past on chemo and radiation.

It's misery still and all, but it's good that doctors have become more precise and less destructive in their cancer fighting methods.

and I hope his cancer just up and disappears!
