must all be from the same school

my wife has the same cancer as you. she was first diagnosed in 2008, had a double masectomy and some lymph nodes removed. In 2010 the cancer was back, in her liver, ribs,bones, etc. at that time she was given 2-3 years to live. Me being a dummy I cannot tell you the names of the different treatments she has been through. We have had a lot of ups and downs, hopes raised and then dashed. our friends and I took her to burning man this year and last, and that was so important for us, spiritually.Having this death sentence over her head has been brutal, terrifying, maddening but has allowed us to connect on such a deep level and really appreciate life and each other, and we are still madly in love. This May she went into the hospital with blood in her stool, which we never found out the cause, but since then she was able to only have 2 or 3 treatments due to first low white blood cell counts and then low platelets. Last Thursday she was taken to the emergency room with trouble breathing. After a cat scan it was revealed that the cancer had spread into her lungs, that it was very aggressive( her cat scan in May, while the most horrific thing I have ever seen, showed no cancer in her lungs) and it was decided then that treatment would not be continued. She is now home and under the care of Hospice, and I'm not sure how much time she has left. We have been married 15 years and have two children, 11 and 13. This weekend we had to have the talk with them. My wife is 38. Through all of this, which is very much engulfing my family and friends, that Iv'e decided to try to stay positive through all this shit. Iv'e always believed that life is not designed to be fair, but as a concept that's easier to swallow than when it is a reality. Give all the love you can to your people so that they can be ok with what cannot be changed. My heart goes out to you and your family.

you may just be taking this point a little too seriously
