Cancer is indeed a life-changing experience, for both patient and caregiver(s). Much as we would like things to return to what they were pre-diganosis, they never will. I learned a few life lessons from my experience; today, my head is in a slightly different place from five months ago. Good luck and all the very best to you, Tina.
