Thanks for posting your update. Gosh, it seems like you just joined OCF and were beginning everything. It went quickly, at least it seems like it did. I know how worried you were when you first found OCF. Your husband's rare cancer was a very big concern.

Im happy to read about your husband doing so well. You were well prepared to face the worst and it hasnt been as bad as anticipated. When members return after treatments and give good updates it helps to give others hope. So often the focus is on all the negatives but not everyone will struggle. Keep up the good nutrition and hydration while recovering. Add some high protein powder to help speed the recovery.

Im sure you were one heck of a good caregiver. Congrats to you both! Enjoy your time back at home.

Best wishes for continued good health!
