I am so sorry to read this. What are the next steps for him? I'm keeping him in my thoughts and prayers.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Sorry KML. He sure has been having a rough time of it. You are one fantastic lady for sticking by him the way you have. He is exceedingly lucky. (((HUGS)))
Ugh! He’s been doing so well that it sorta makes you forget just how serious a stage IIIb CA diagnosis is. Hopefully he will continue to respond to treatment but very much explains the pain. Yet another downside of dating at even moderately older ages - partners getting seriously sick. I’m hoping for the best for both of you.

Don, he’s actually always been stage 4. The rib fracture he had from our car accident right after he was diagnosed was eventually diagnosed as a metastasis, making him stage 4. They just missed it in the beginning.
Really, he should have been dead in 6 months so to be here at 18 months and still reasonable quality of life is amazing. They set him up with a Tuesday appointment with his radiation oncologist so I assume that means they will irradiate these lesions - that’s good, that should relieve his pain.
Hoping he can get another good year - although very aware he could also just go right downhill from here. Focusing on the present and trying to still enjoy life.
Just wanted to remind you that as you are busy caring for others that others care about you. (((kml)))
