Thank you for the forum.

I lost my Husband to Stage IV Throat Cancer 13 years ago. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him or talk to him.

At that time we didn't know about Cancer Centers it was 18 months of pure hell. After he passed I thought to myself I never want to go through this again and here I am with tongue cancer. I wish we had known about Cancer Centers if so he might still be with me.

He was my friend, lover and the best husband who thought of his family first. Our grown children and their families followed us.

The sad thing is he retired after 33 years with General Motors, we moved to Florida so he could golf year round, built our retirement home, 3 years later he was gone.

I have beaten my head against the wall many times after finding out about Cancer Centers, we were so close to one and didn't know it.

I know exactly what you all (Caregivers) have gone through and feel. Don't think they didn't know we did all we could for them.

God Bless you all.
