Wendy put it beautifully.

People react with a shocked look when I say that Jody is a cancer survivor. I always say that it was the worst thing that ever happened and we turned it into the best we could do as a family.
Am lucky that my daughters were grown. Each one took a day every week to drive 5 hrs round trip with Dad for his treatments. Such a wonderful time to connect one on one with their father and him with them. I know he cherishes how special that time was.
Don't get me wrong, cancer is a lousy rotten thing and no one should go thru it. I guess it's the way we fight it.

Is there a summer camp or day program for children there?
Anything you can do to relieve some of your stress is a big help. Then there is always " scream and beat the heck out of a pillow" (made me feel better but can leave you with a sore throat)
