My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
I would like to share a smart ass remark I made when I fought cancer. I was getting daily heavy radiation and biweekly massive chemotherapy. Soon I was unable to eat or drink and had to have a feeding tube through my belly into my stomach. Liquid diet poured into my tube. One day when I arrived for my daily radiation treatment, the nurse came in while I was changing and noticed the plastic tube taped to my shoulder and running down and into my belly. She, in a soft and caring voice asked how I was feeling. I, feeling like crap but refusing to make that my answer opted for, "I feel like one of the Borg with this tube sticking out of me" and I grinned at her. Several odd looks ran across her face until she understood I was referring to a member of a collective group of Star Trek characters. She broke out laughing. The more she tried to stifle the laugh the harder the laughter came. She left the room. My doctor came in with two attendants and radiation tech and asked " what did you say to Sandy (can't remember her real name)."
Laughter didn't cure my cancer, but it helped me struggle through. Find something to laugh about everyday.
May you and Doug have love and laughter every day of your lives.
