You fought the battle and are here for a new life. Congratulations! My wife is a survivor of stage 4 colon cancer. She had a pump for 4 months putting chemo into her heart while getting weekly radiation. Two weeks of cooling and then surgery, followed by 6 months of more chemo. She has been clear for 20 years now. It's a battle worth fighting and your wife is going to be glad you are tuff enough to go through it. Appreciate everyone and every day.
