You are a real man...because a real man can only admire and show gratitude for what his woman does for him. I can understand and relate with your feelings as I have been blessed with such an amazing woman as my life partner. Reassure her that you plan to stick around for many years and after that you plan to meet her in another life. Bodies die, souls are immortal.
Wow. It's great to love and be loved. Especially in our circumstance. I too, realize what a great partner I have, and have felt the emotion you so vividly relate. Thanks for the reminder for us to express that emotion as often and as well as we can.
When you love someone dearly...you want to live not just for yourself but for them, too.
Therefore, you wont care if a treatment is approved by SOC or not. Just like me ,you probably will treat your cancer cells with anything which have any type of evidence of effectiveness. People give their life for who they love. I am willing to eat, Cauliflower, Radishes, Brocolli, Dark red grapes, turmeric, Ginger, Onions, Garlic ..every day and even stay in Gym for hours. Its not just about me anymore...its also for the woman who standing by me and hoping for longer time together.
Love empowers you....makes you strong and then God gives you the power to drop toxic things processed meat, cigarettes, un needed pads of fatty tissue and ability to select medications which are best for you. Wish you both lot of luck and love in coming years.
Well its lucky you have a Wonder woman who knows about love.
Such a marvel in love, when its there.
I was spectacularly useless at getting any kind of Wonder woman to stay with me, so I just have to get by without a WW around.
I am considering that I should marry my bicycle because I cycle 200km+ a week to stay fit and sane. Someone asked me why I wanted to marry the bike, and all that came to my mind was "Well, I can go for a ride on it any old time I like". My past experience with dear ladies indicated that going for a ride on one of them had its difficulties.
Oh no, I didn't catch up you youngan up hill, that's where they always win against old guys who have had EBRT, many drugs, castrated, been chemoed, and atomic bombed by Lu177. But it was the down hill part of ride where he should have been lots faster. But let's be sure about this, any of the dudes in TDF can spend all day cycling at twice my average speed. But then they all have freak body properties, born to win, and lucky I never raced against any of them. I took up cycling seriously in late 30s and early 40s,and raced as a veteran for 6 years, but there were fellows 20 years older who could easily ride faster. I just liked doing things that challenged me, and getting a personal best was all that mattered. Its a kind of masochistic type of fun, and until anyone begins to enjoy 150km training rides up in mountains behind Canberra then you never could understand being on a bike. Going to a gym just does not compare with cycling up a hill at 10% slope and 3 km long. The downhill coming back meant 80kph, real scary stuff.
I was still knocked up today after Sunday's 81km, so today I rode 60km slow. Time to smell the flowers, just take in all the Spring time in its splender.
Very well said. I thank God for my Wife and family everyday. I cant imagine my life with out her Cancer or not. We have been together since 1969 she is my best friend, soul mate, and Mother of my children. Love is not a strong enough word to describe how much she means to me. Leo
I am 73 y.o. and I do not have a woman or companion in my life.
BUT I have a daughter, Brigitte 48, and 4 sons, Christian 47, Jonathan (my clone) 28, Nicolas 27 and Frédéric 26. Two grand children, Léo 12 and Romane 10. Plus my godson, Jason 22.
All of them are the reason for my fight. I have PCa, Lymphoma, Chronic Kidney Insufficiency Grade 3, Pulmonary Emphysema Gold Grade 3 and Chronic Acute Lumbalgia that prevent me to do any exercises.
But I keep fighting so I can see my progenitures growing up.
PCa G(4+3=7) Grade 3 with a pre-Rx PSA of 20.4 so I am treated as a grade 4.
Even with my PCa, VMAT RT Hypofractionnated RT 3Gy X 20 Fx. I am lucky. I was supposed to be on ADT for 24 months but due to my response, my RO stopped me after 6 months. Now I am on Active Surveillance. Unless any symptoms showing up, my next R/V is in March 2021.
WOW! That was very moving. I also have a wonder woman and at night when I get up to pee and get back in bed I look at her sleeping and think how did I get to have such a wonderful woman walk beside me. She tells me that she wants to go first because she knows that I would survive but she wouldn't be able to go on with life without me.
So true. My wife left our home in Canada and lived with me in Bangkok for 4 months while I had my radioligand therapy. She was my rock, my drill sergeant, my advisor and constant companion while the borders closed, airports vacated, and a form of marshal law enforced by the military ensued. She alone made this the experience of a lifetime... my life time.
Thank you for the encouraging words of gratitude toward our life partners, our Wonder Women. I feel the only depression within me is the fact that I’m so controlled by hormone depredation that I am not able to show my WW how strong my love is for her. Thank goodness I see daily her strong display of love and care for me. After 41 yrs of marriage and 14 yrs of living with PC, of which 6 yrs at Stage 4 Metastatic PC , I am so blessed. Keep the thumbs up 👍 guys and love life and those around you.
I know how you feel my dude. I got emotional a bit thinking of my girl watching the movie, "The Honest Thief." It's a Liam Neeson movie which means it's TAKEN: Part 63. The girl he fell in love with was super loyal to him just like my girl is to me even though she's on the other side of the world.
She also saw the movie too and when I told her about that she said, "Really? I didn't like that girl hahaha. She had good reason too. Liam's character wanted to give up being a Bank Robber and turn himself in as well as all the money he stole. My girls point was she shouldn't have let him turn in the money. The guy never left any clues, nobody had any idea who he was, or how he did what he did. Just keep the money and live a good life together since nobody would ever find out.
I can't argue with that haha.
Still back to what you said, I get how you feel. I still feel like an ass sometimes wanting to date her a few months after I got diagnosed. I didn't know how long I was going to last and maybe it wasn't fair, but I just had too. I'm the first good man she's ever dated and I'm stage 4. It makes me sad. Also I have to remember it's because of her I have the strength that I have.
Will there be an "inevitable?" Maybe, but I'm not leaving that option on the table. Fuck it, I don't care. I am not putting my family through seeing me waste away, same with her. I don't care if that's the way it goes. It's not happening to me.
I am prepared if it does happen but at the same time, I'm not leaving that option on the table if that makes sense. Neither should you man. I'm not giving this thing shit. If that kind of attitude puts even a few more years on my life, then that's what I'm doing.
Thank you for your share. Since my husband was diagnosed our life has changed so. We have become closer than ever before. We appreciate each day. I try not to think about the future but just today - that's the best way. I'm so grateful that we decided to "retire early" so we can have this time together.
