Even though you didnt find this site until now, it still can be useful to you. Im sure your wisdom could help others if you would feel you want to help answer questions.
We have several caregivers here who have lost their spouses to oral cancer. Its a very hard thing to go thru caring for someone and watching what they are going thru, all the while keeping a cheerful and encouraging disposition. I dont think I would make a very good caregiver.
Glad you took the time to register and post your message.
