Michelle i am sorry to hear you have such a rocky road to travel,and i am happy to see you are already using the royal "we" ,its a jargon we caregivers slip into very quickly and shows how committed you are to being with him every step of the way which he will surely need.Being Mom to two small children will put you under even more strain so please make sure you have backup in place for you as well,because you will definately need it.

Read some posts and if you can ,the blog by MHUPE (margret) as she too juggled motherhood with caregiving,and she and her husband are now moving forward with their lives post cancer,and doing well.

If anything will give your husband the grit he needs to fight this hateful disease it has to be the will too live long and bounce his granchildren on his knee.
you have a very hard time ahead,but know we will be here to help when you need us

love liz
