To LIVE like you were, DYING, after her husband got diagnosed with cancer, the family started, changing their lifestyles, to spend more time as a family together, to take care of their own health, to watch their diets more, and thankful, this man's cancer is, in remission now! Translated…
Since my husband's annual check up results showed that he is at risk for prostate cancer, our lives got turned, upside, down.
The physician stated it bluntly, "it's prostate cancer!", my husband, who'd originally, gone with that light heart to get his report, came back home, pale as, a ghost, told me, "I'm almost, DEAD!", we'd kept up with our exercises, eaten healthy, kept regular schedules, never imagined, that we'd would be anywhere NEAR, cancer, we'd become, totally, ill-prepared.
And, time passed, with the countless number of checkup exams, along with the facts of the matter, becoming, clearer, and clearer, and clearer. We'd gotten him signed on for the health exams, waited for the exams, waited for the, results, and it'd, confirmed the presence of, cancer, along with the stage that the cancer is in………we'd fallen, into, that all-time, low then, and can only, search crazily online, in the papers, magazines, and books, for the related, data. Although we'd know, that this cancer isn't as vicious, but, under the shadows of "cancer", it'd still, made us imagine, the worst.
Do we now need to, prepare for what might come? Are we, parting soon? Suddenly, we'd both discovered, that the life that's ordinary, peaceful we'd shared for all this time to be, so very, precious.

Our adult sons all started up too, my two sons took turns, taking their days off from work, to accompany us to the oncologist's office together, with them there, the oncologist, the nurse started, explaining things to them, and not to us! Although we'd felt ignored, but when we'd compared notes as we got home, we surely, missed out on, a whole, lot of what's been stated! Other than admitting, that the years had, caught up to us, and we're, both very grateful to our sons, for being there for us.
As we were confirmed of the development of my husband's cancer, we'd, set up the needed sessions of radiotherapy. As he began treatment, my heart started, settling down more or less; other than believing, that he will be, okay, every day as my husband went to get his treatment, there were the cancer patients around us, giving each other the needed, encouragements, and we don't feel, so alone in this anymore.
Finally, the treatments were over, life returned back to, normal now. Or maybe, something will change in our futures, but, at the age of seventy, being, impacted by the cancer diagnosis, he'd felt, he'd, hit the, reset, button to his life.
And so, the cancer is, merely, a warning for you and your family, to pay more attention, to care for each other more, to cherish the time you have together, and thankful, this man's cancer is under control for now, and he'd gained a new lease on life, and this experience had taught him to, not do things so hurriedly, to take time to enjoy his life with his loved ones.
