I learned today my cancer has returned. 😢. I was diagnosed in Dec 2023 and had to place my husband in memory care so I could get treatment. had chemo and then surgery in April 2024. I’ve been cancer free for 20 months. My husband passed in August 2024. I will now have more chemo and more surgery. I’m thankful my DH never knew I had cancer. Appreciate prayers as I fight. 🩷💜

    @SDianeL i am so sorry to hear that you’re facing surgery and chemo again. Your posts have always provided me with knowledge and hope, two things I had in short supply. I hope your care team provides the highest level of support and care. Thinking about you.

    I just found this discussion group for Stage 8 and read your post. Add my prayers to the list. You have been such a huge help to this group, long after your dementia journey ended. Hoping that you will make it through again - you’ve proven you’re a fighter in many ways!
