Nancy - Tommy has already introduced me to the site and I have been "lurking" until now and have already found it a comfort. I have been reading threads through tears (both from laughing and crying I might add). My head is still spinning as I try to absorb all the information and come to terms with reality. It's all still sinking in and I'm still fighting with the self pity "why us" attitude so I'm not nearly to the place that Tommy is. I do, however, share his warped sense of humor by laughing at him walking around the house saying "I'm Cancer Boy" in his best super hero voice or using the Cancer boy excuse for accidently taking up two parking spots.
The site has already provided information and comfort and I expect that I will be lurking around quite a bit. Thanks to everyone for providing Tommy such a warm welcome.
