The not knowing and uncertainty is worse than knowing any bad news. I had read several well known and respected websites about Leigh-Ann's cancer and they all indicated that this was a bad cancer (all cancers are bad but this is worst!) and that she probably has a very advanced tumour which may not be operable.

I started to think all sorts of unthinkable things and wanted to know if Leigh-Ann was also thinking like me but these are really difficult things to discuss.
The entire scenario is like an out of body experience. It is as if it is happening to someone else! It is surreal.
We had a early appointment with Leigh-Ann's doctor in Agassiz, a small town about 10 minutes drive away from Earla's house in Harrison Hot Springs.
Marie Weatherby, Nurse Practitioner, should be given a medal. Wow, she was excellent. Our 30 minute appointment expanded to 2 1/2 hours whilst she reassured Leigh-Ann and got all the wheels in motion. She even trawled the internet and told me where I could buy a new Apple laptop, super helpful.
Her memorable quote was: "Leigh-Ann your job now is cancer for the foreseable future! Cancer is now what you do and what you are."
