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.

Whoops!
Chemo aborted. After she had already received the anti-nausea infusion. Kaplan actually came up to the treatment room. Her blood counts (hematocrit) are too low. Totally unexpected. So we wait until we see him next Thursday. If labs then indicate her counts are back up then on to chemo. If not, he'll want to scan her for possible cancer causes - liver involvement or bone marrow involvement. Let's hope it's just a delayed reaction to radiation.
