I’ve been here. I lost my wife to a metastatic tumor. He’s coping with the horror through determination to fight and win, and communicating it.
My person had 4 surgeries, countless MRIs, you name it. We had access to the best doctors in the US. There was no way she was going to not beat this thing. We booked a vacation and there was no doubt in my mind that we were going to be there. Until the day that changed.
The dude is a little unhinged. He’s trying to have some agency and control where none exists. He wants to save the girl he loves. So did I. Give him some grace.
Yup, you got it. I'm a survivor (so far) from a relapsed cancer myself. People have no idea of the kind of insanities you are willing to pursue in such desperate situations. Grace and forgiveness is the right approach here.
