Hi! I wish I would have found this forum before all my cancer started, because there is a wealth of information from people who have been through it. I was fortunate that my husband took care of me in the first six months. I had a trech, a port for chemo, and a feeding tube before I even started my first appointment for Chemo. I had a hard time asking for help, but it came time to ask due to we are self employeed. One of us had to keep the business running, but I have wonderful friends who helped me until I could drive my self to appt's. So keep us posted and good luck with your surgery.
