Don't knock the alternative therapy. Its pretty much the only thing that has kept me alive these last 17-18 years. The doctors still say I have only a few months to live, and have been saying those long years. At least once a year a ful acupuncture, acupressure, and the whole what else can you do for me, stuff.
I disagree, but I don't want to argue the merits of alternative medicine here.

Its not about having or giving up hope, its about living and enjoying life.
That I can agree with.

But on the flip side, I don't know if your ready to hear this, have you made your peace with him?
Do the things you won't be able to do when he is gone, etc. Cause life is filled with one time chances for things and I would hate to have you filled with regret. (I have literally no regrets, and always do what I don't think I will have a chance to do again, if that makes any sense).
That's what's really hard about all this. My parents divorced about 10 years ago, my dad remarried after just a couple years, but my mom didn't until about 3 years ago. They've been very happy though, and he's very good to her, and I've been really happy for her that she found someone like him. The problem is, that in 2009, I moved to Canada, about 2500 miles away from where they live, and they still haven't been able to meet their grandson in person (he's 18 months old.) They were planning on traveling up here, but now with his treatments and everything, they won't be able to. I'm just hoping my wife and I can find the time and money to fly down in the next year.

"hope" is BS
when's the last time hope cured anything?
a close friend of mine died from cancer, and if you're gonna substitute hope with medicine than you're out of your mind..
if not for those religious bigot, and their quest to stop stem cell research, we might be closer to findering a cure
sorry, this discussion got me angry..
