Sorry about your dx. We have all been on, or are still on, the roller-coaster ride either as patients or caregivers. We truly do understand what you are going through. Paul has given you some really good advice. During treatment, you will probably be too tired to even think clearly, so it is a good idea to give some thought to the daily chores and see if you can find someone to help you with them. You will need every oz of energy to fight the fight. Come to this board, ask questions, vent -- you are among friends here. Welcome!
