Coming to the end of the road for Mrs juju

Judy recovered from her bleeding incident and left the hospital last night. She is now resting at home.
Monday we got the news we had been dreading. The new spot her last scans discovered is in fact a mutated form of the cancer she has been treated for the past 8 years. Its very aggressive and they have no treatments for this other than mastectomy and radiation. Judy cannot go thru another mastectomy as she is to weak and it would probably kill her. The radiation is a stop gap that may or may not add a little time to her life.
We have known since her cancer came back that eventually it would be terminal. We just hoped it would be longer than this.
As aggressive as this new cancer is and in her weakened state best guess is 6 months tops. But we are hoping for longer.
Meeting with the Oncologist next week to discuss whether to stop the treatments on her original cancer since they are not going to prolong her life. I cant see any reason to put her thru the discomfort of those any more.
After 45 years together I am going to be lost without her. I have no idea what I am going to do.
She is and has been my whole life. Even though we never got a travel trailer I am going to try and get her to the Ocean and maybe the mountains one more time.
Please keep her in your prayers. I am hoping for a miracle..

I am praying for her, and for you to have strength during this difficult time.

Cancer can attack anyone.
Continued well wishes and prayers for you folks, JuJu.
I lost my wife about 3 years ago. We had plans to get an RV and see the country. But her life long disease got too much and the last week of life was in an hospital.
Well, after she was gone I decided to buy an Rv anyway. I stayed at a campground for a month, then had plans to go on "our" travels. But my legs got real bad, to the point I can barely walk now. So I stayed at this campground and enjoyed my new friends I made there. All good people.
If at all possible take her on your quest for her last visits to `where ever.
At this point, I Know that you and her standing in the surf of the ocean will do more for her than any chemo.
Get that RV, you have enuff in your Gofundme to buy something decent.
You will do okay after wards. Don't worry about life after, live life with her now.
Prayers to you and yours.

Barz is 100% right spiritual wise.
And I'm right about taking her to see what ever she whats now.
To everyone here, {and I don't care if anyone thinks this is in bad taste}, Please go here
and help them.

What about RENTING a rv? Seems you can get a small unit for about $1500 a month with free mileage. It is small 13 foot. I'm sure you can find a renting Rv place with something bigger like a 19 footer for about $2500 a month.
Search around the internet in your area, they are ready to go, and you don't have to worry if something goes wrong while you travel.
Just a idea up the flag pole....
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
It does not make your pain less- but you find ways to manage it. My prayers for the both of you- if you ever need to talk, send me an email.
