Thank you and sorry about your friends. The most difficult thing is accepting that you cannot control the universe and you can only make the decisions that you can make at the time. With what we do professionally, sometimes we think we have power that we don’t. My wife was blessed with being treated by an incredible team of doctors at one of the finest cancer centers in the world. They expected full recovery and were shocked when things took a turn. These things are really complex. With advances in scientific computing, genetic analysis is getting faster and better and treatments are improving. Thats a double edged sword. “OK” in the world of a cancer patient is a relative concept. My experience with the sadness and struggle is that I will remember that these decisions are difficult, and hope is a concept can be both liberating and cruel.
