A field guide for men who are supporting their wife or significant other in becoming free of cancer. Especially when they are hit by a stroke in mid-treatment. I outline the process and experiences, and offer tips and hints for others. My dear wife, Meagan, died from Stage 4 melanoma cancer.

Friday morning update
Neurologist was by. She confirmed based on overnight continuous brain scans that she is having mini seizures emanating from right side of brain, which is not where her original tumors and surgery and radiation were. An MRI might reveal a small tumor. That can be zapped by radiation cyberknife. In the interim, they need to get her seizures and blood pressure under control. So she will be here for a longer time until Kaplan is sure she can get up and around, which is more the blood pressure issue. The neurologist says she has lots of patients at home on many antiseizure meds. So she's pretty confident they can get those under control. Then if it is a tumor we schedule cyberknife zappage. Meagan knows all this and is ok. So we are waiting for our turn in the MRI room.
