Tom,

Thank you for your encouragement about being strong.

Being a caregiver to my family member has been by far the hardest thing I had to do in my life in this fight against cancer. I have relied upon every ounce of strength I can find within me. At times, though, this has been very difficult and trying especially at time of first diagnosis and during the many following doctors consultations and their opinions about prognosis and treatment options.

There have been times where I almost lost it. I wish in retrospect that I had found this site from day one and been able to communicate and share experiences with so many caring and wonderful people.
