Hi Lisa,

Reading your post sure brought back a ton of memories for me. I found this board right after my husband's treatment ended and the people on this board are wonderful! You will get a ton of support and encouragement. Just take it one day at a time. I don't think you're weak at all to get a prescription for your nerves, I think that's smart!

Your husband is young and strong, that's going to help him a lot. You just make sure you take care of yourself too, being a caregiver can be very draining. And you have 2 children too. Are there any family members close by to be able to help? Keep us posted, we are all here for you.

Hugs,

Shelley
