Jerry, I don't know you and I don't know your faith, but I absolutely believe that God is capable of healing and I pray for that. No matter what, I pray for His peace and comfort and hope to be upon you and your wife and your families throughout this.

Edited to add:

Just read the posts right above mine, and I wholeheartedly concur: you MUST be your own advocate on this. For the last 18 months I have learned the importance of researching your options yourself, getting second opinions, dropping doctors who do not show an immediate personal interest in your wife's case, finding out everything possible about alternative treatments and suggested medications, etc. There are great doctors out there, and I am blessed to have found three who care very much about my health and stay in constant communication with myself and each other. Do not put up with any who treat your wife like a number.

Also, I recommend finding support groups, whether local or online. Connecting with others will help you all learn what to expect and remove the element of fearing the unknown.
