SolarGoddess Registered: 01/12/09 Posts: 7	Hi All, Well, she changed and went to see a female doctor today. We got a call a few hours ago that it is cervical cancer. There is a feeling of relief, in a sense, just knowing what the problem is. It's amazing that just a diagnosis, finally knowing whats wrong, causes such relief. Now I guess the real work starts, for all of us. I want to thank everyone for your helpful suggestions. She used some of your questions to ask her new doctor and that started them down the road toward this diagnosis. I'll talk to you soon. P.S. Yes, I am cancelling my plans to move until she is well again.

We both spend a lot of time taking care of him. The doctors say there is nothing else they can do for him, so he just talks about dying everyday, which is really depressing. I imagine that he will require more and more of our time in the coming months, maybe years...I don't know. We will just take one day at a time now.

I know what you mean by it being a relief to know...but as you say, now the real work begins. When will they begin treatment? My heart and prayers are with your friend - and YOU! This is a good safe place to come and hang out when you need a break and a breather...and shoulders to lean on when the going gets tough. _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.
