Hi Oz - I am sooo glad you found this great place to be! It sounds like you and Hellion make a good team. It's great that your wife goes with you to appointments to help in remembering what happens and ask questions. I went with my son to his appointments with the cancer team and to the Rad Tx. There were many times when a nurse friend of mine as well as my daughter also came with us. Sharing moments like these does lessen the stress level and keeps everyone focused on the positives. As you progress along this journey you are on, you or your wife might think of things that need doing, so if anyone asks how they may help, have your list ready - like picking up prescriptions, fixing a meal, laundry, walking the dog, etc. They can pick from the list and it will leave you free to concentrate on getting better. It will help them, too - to keep busy and lessen the time they have to worry about you. Your granddaughter sounds precious! Maybe she will bring you a lollipop after an appointment or Rad Tx? My granddaughter was just about the age of yours, when my son was in Tx and it's amazing how much little ones can really put a smile in an otherwise stressful situation. You have lots of support with your family as well as here, so keep coming back often and let us know how you are doing.
