Hey Deb, my heart goes out to your and your husband. I know for me, my wife played a huge role in helping me get through two rounds of treatments. She was a bulldog in helping me deal with doctors, always asking questions and just generally carrying the load when things got too overwhelming for me... You have a tough role but a very important one...

Where in North Carolina are you from? My wife and I just moved back to NC from Arizona in October. We're living in the Raleigh area. E-mail me if you ever have questions, want to talk, vent, etc.
