Vicki Williams and her husband Jim never wanted to have to go through cancer treatment, but when Jim was diagnosed with lung cancer they decided to accept it. It would not cure him but give him 2 years instead of 2 months. There was much pain but the extra time with the family, including 2 Christmases, was well worth it.
“For one of the gifts that cancer treatment gives is time for the discovery that as the length of life is shortened, the feeling for life is heightened. Experiences and emotions that are taken for granted in normal times are telescoped so that each stands out in clear, vibrant detail.”
