Jephkay,
I'm so very sorry to hear of your wife's diagnosis and I well understand you feeling alone and trapped. My wife felt the same way when I was diagnosed with lung cancer on February 4, 2004. But after the mayhem of 3 failed surgeries and 18 infusions of Taxol and Carboplatin chemotherapy. I'm still here and if I can live, so can you wife.
Doctors are formulating your wife's treatment plans that may include both radiation and chemotherapy. I advise you take the time to read into the disease so you are prepared to help your wife make the right treatment choices. Here is some introductory information on radiation and chemotherapy you may find interesting. Has your wife's cancer been biopsied? I ask because you didn't disclose her type of cancer and various types have different treatment approaches including newly discovered advanced treatments called targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
You'll have a ton of questions as her treatment plan is established and this is a good place to ask.
Stay the course.
Tom
