Cinch up your saddle and hold on! Radiation is a real bear. I was pretty hard on my wife who was a perfect caregiver and one of the sweetest people on earth. You will need support too. Being a caregiver is much harder than being a patient. The thing is, is that HE can't give up on this. Cheerleading can only take it so far. This is why other interventions, medications and support are necessary (and we are always here as well). It can be a wild ride.

Get the Armstrong books through the OCF Amazon link (when you first open the forum page) and a small portion is given back to OCF.
"It's Not About The Bike" was the first book he wrote.
