Kathy all people in all walks of life who experience a great illness have a fear of the unknown I believe. As for me everytime I get a sore throat even after all these years my first thought is "Oh no! It's back!" Then again my father-in-law had a massive heart attack and he refused to get out of bed for fear of having another one if he did so much as speak to long.

In the end we just have to make use of each day and be grateful for it. Not always easy I know but if you can do it 5 days out of 7 it makes for a better quality of life for sure. My prayers are with you husband and your as I was once also in your shoes when my husband had "c" and I was the caregiver.

Meanwhile every day you get is another day of hope.
Blessings,
