That's very sad news ... nothing can soften the blow of that ... and my heart goes out to you and your family (I'm a cancer survivor, fortunate not to have had any recurrence for over nine years).

The essay ... for non-scientists, for everyone ... by the famed evolutionary biologist and writer Stephen Jay Gould, "The Median Is Not the Message," was written as he came to grips with his own cancer and tried to make sense of the "prognosis statistics" he was finding [^].

Gould survived that cancer without recurrence for twenty years.

It has become a classic which is widely shared among those with cancer, and their families. It was very helpful to me in my own personal struggle years ago. I hope it may bring some comfort to you and your family.
