An update on my life

This back pain took a nasty turn last Thursday when she suddenly lost the ability to walk. Upon entry to hospital they found her breast cancer had spread to her spine which is devastating news. Normally once you start getting secondary cancers your life expectancy is a handful of years, but there are people who recover to lead a relatively normal life after spinal cancer, but we have no idea where she sits on the spectrum of probable outcomes until they perform more tests and see how everything responds to treatment.
The one ray of light we have had so far is that yesterday she was allowed to attempt to walk for the first time since Thursday, and she can slowly shuffle along with the aid of a walking frame and is expected to get stronger and may only need a walking stick. This means that she is likely to be able to come home soon, which makes a huge difference to her quality of life, as the second most devastating thing about this (after the thought she may not have long to live) was the fact that any remaining time would be spent in hospitals and not able to take part in any meaningful way in life with her family and friends.

Hope she gets home soon, Mumu! Enjoy all the time you have together. Every moment counts. You could have decades left together, or you might not. Impossible to know so live your lives like tomorrow doesn't exist.
Thanks for the update and know that we're thinking of you.

Stay strong and keep in touch. We care about you.
//edit: Like the others are saying, we need more info on this boob situation. You guys went with frame-appropriate perkies, or too-hell-with-it mams? We care about this too.

My wife is still in amazonian mode from her own treatment, and is now also a cyborg since she broke her wrist last month.
It's needless and powerless to say that my "thoughts are with you", but know that they really are. Hoping for the best.

In Australia there are really only 2 major cities so once you are born in one you tend to stay there your entire life, so all our family members are close by. We have good public health care in Australia so this won't financially cripple us. So the main cost of all this is emotional.
In that same vein as fashion designers have decided that all models should be waif thin with high cheekbones and large eyes, plastic surgeons have decided that all breasts should be perfectly circular, with the nipple perfectly centred and gravity defying so they look the same in every position, and this is what currently greets me when I look at my wife's chest, rather than the more normal look with more mass below the nipple.

You're in Australia? Sydney? the head of oncology (physics) was my old boss, nice guy, and one of the very best, they have a great department there, but a lot of my friends and colleagues have worked in Brisbane and some of the other bigger centres, its quite popular as a career enhancing move away from the UK.
