Hansi,
I haven't commented yet because I've been trying to think of something to say. I always have trouble with this sort of thing. I don't want to sound insincere or cliche but expersing sentiment is difficult for me. A co-worker I've known for a long time recently lost his partner of 17 years & all I could thing to write on the group card was "Sorry for your loss". Pretty pathetic, huh? Anyway, here goes:
First, there is hope. The survival rates for cancer are better now than they were just ten years ago. The important thing is that both of you keep your spirits up. A possitive attitude is essenscial and you will have to have your own to help hers.
And that's the second thing. You are going to have to support her. I know you may feel helpless at times, but you aren't. Just being there can be helpfull. And she will need your help, escpecially while undergoing chemo. But, this means you can contribute to her recovery and not just be a bystander. Think of this as a contest, you and her vs the cancer. By working together, you can both cross the finish line victorious.
Finally, don't worry about us. We understand that you will have to be away from this place from time to time. Real life has to come first and we all support you and your Mrs.
OK. That may not all have come out the way I wanted it to, but you get the idea. Hang in there Hansi. Our thoughts are with you.
Naraku.
