Dear Kay -
Please know that several people have walked the rocky path your husband is about to tread. We are all here for both your husband AND for you as a caretaker. This is an excellent place to "vent" as his treatment progresses. As Cookey suggested, comb thru the extensive archives using the OCF search capabilities, then come back and ask more questions about anything that you must know. Petey is also very willing to help. Wishing you the best...come back often. Warmly, JaneP
