I've had high grade prostate cancer which gives me some experience but given that I don't know if there is any pat or correct answers. Trust me, I wish there were. If there is any way you can convince her doctor of how bad it is progressing it is worth a try. Getting mad will close doors, being persistent might open some doors. If her doctor is asleep try to find another. This hurts but ask them to be honest. Sometimes they hold back information I guess trying to be nice but for me the truth is important. Be with her every trip & don't try or think you can fix it. You can't. Get 2nd & even third opinions if possible. Just be a friend to her and try to understand what she is going through. Sometimes, hopefully not here patients get angry & take it out on their loved ones. If that happens don't give up. Keep pushing the health system & stand beside her. It's not an easy road. May God be with both of you at this very trying time. Oh how I detest cancer!!!!!!!!
