Hi Y'all! So am posting here in hopes I chose the correct place. My apologies if it should go elsewhere. So, my husband JUST got his diagnosis and we don't know much. After reading on here and getting some wonderful replies from y'all (you're great, by the way!) and my sister came over (she is a cancer survivor, too!) I am managing my anxiety much better than ANYONE could have hoped. Let me explain...I have super severe anxiety. Baffles docs all around the world at how severe it is. I keep it well controlled thanks to YEARS of therapy and some help from xanax when necessary and am considered 'highly functioning'! I fought tooth and nail not to lose it when we got his diagnosis. After my sister going thru cancer and having lost my Dad to cancer just a few weeks ago, well, I have to thank y'all, again and again. I feel blessed to have found this forum and hope you all know how much you have already helped me! I hope that at sometime in the future I can offer someone the incredible outpouring of support I have already received! Now I am trying to convince my husband to come on here and 'meet' y'all, but he's scared. He said he doesn't know what to say or how to talk with strangers. I am asking him to trust me and give it a chance as I know he could really use the support I see here. Any advice on anything I could tell him to help assuage those concerns? He's seen how being on here has settled me down-considerably-and that has him happy! He is still in, I think we both are, that stage of, 'Is this for real?' We know it is, but we don't KNOW it is. Did that make sense? On Monday morning we are going to find out if we can indeed go to MD Anderson rather than BAMC. So In the meantime I am going to keep gently suggesting he at least come read some forums and try to peak his interest enough to get him to engage on here! Thank you all, sooo much!
