My husband is going through cancer and I'm his primary caregiver. I've enjoyed reading posts from people that have been there. I'm hoping he will get on this site but he has a new lump (see After Treatment Forum) and he's pretty discouraged right now. This has been the hardest 1 1/2 years of our lives. Never thought it would happen to us. Well, him. I'm glad I found this site, it's wonderful. Thanks for having it for patients and caregivers.
