Okay, having hijacked a thread I started, I'll expand on Donna's comment. Don't you just hate how your mind conjures up a worst case scenario before those PETscans or MRIs or ENT checkups? and it appears to me that it's even worse for caregivers than patients. The stress that Wendy is feeling over Steve's test, that Suez is feeling over Ron's is even more poignant since they are caregivers. I know my wife actually worries more than I do about the cancer hitting me for a third time.
Yet as all the ones who congratulated me realize oh so well, what a great relief and good feeling it is when those worries don't warp into reality. I guess all the posts here on this thread are variations of don't you just hate it that we or a loved one got oral cancer.
