Im glad you have found our forum to help get you thru these rough couple months. We will help you with both medical info and also moral support. Everyone can use a hand while going thru this. It can be overwhelming to say the least. Many will end up taking anxiety meds or seeking out a therapist to talk with to help get thru it. Even some caregivers need those things too. Its nothing to be ashamed of. We all understand and have been in your situation so we do know how bad it really is and what you are going thru.
Wishing you all the very best with todays treatment.
