Powerful article. Something I can share from my own ordeal. When you first get diagnosed most people are strong and defiant "I'm going to beat this thing!". It is the following weeks and months, the follow up scans that show the darn thing is back or not reduced that eventually wear you down. If you know someone that's afflicted please keep in touch throughout or space out your acts of kindness. I found that initially everyone wanted to help (an outpouring) and in later months some help would have been useful.
