Just got back. We're done. It has spread to his lungs, so that's that. She said no more chemo, and that it wouldn't do any good to remove the tumor on his side. Just to wait now. She said it could be two weeks, or might be months.

I guess I knew all along that this was inevitable. Melanoma only has about a 10% survival rate. She said that he's done better, and lived longer, than any cancer patient that they've ever had, with the worst kind of cancer you can get. And that there are no "what ifs" for me, that we've done everything humanly possible. She said that I'll know when it's time to end it all, that he'll change, and not be Cash anymore(become withdrawn). Like I said earlier, his initial prognosis was 6-9 months, and we're beginning month 19 now. So, I guess I should feel lucky for the extra time we've had.

This is so ****ing unfair. We've been inseparable for eight and a half years.
