Lately I have been getting more and more frustrated, my wife keeps telling people that the doctors are going to operate to take out her ovaries when her lung function improves, also the tumor in her head if that grows.The fact that the cancer is in her lung, head and bones and we have been told its terminal and they are only looking at controlling the pain with medication.

He had similar problems but not as bad prior to the surgery in August last year and he was back to normal after the surgery.

This was something that I wrote during my recovery after the operation. It was a little bit off the topic of Cancer, but I still think that it is relevant because I wrote about how life changes direction, and how I perceived these changing directions. For me, having Cancer has changed me quite alot, for the better in a lot of ways. http://www.thecancerstory.com/2011/09/part-9-something-for-rest-of-us.html
