Hi Paul,

Sorry you are starting on this journey and glad you found the forum. There are lots of people here who have done this before you and will have great advice along the way. My husband was diagnosed 5 months ago with SCC at age 47 too. Just one practical suggestion is to start a caringbridge.org website. It really helped us keep people informed. You can invite who you want to read it, and then you can make a post as you like and include all the details you want about how things are going. People will then be notified that you made a post, and they can read it and reply if they wish. This kept me from having to tell everyone the same thing over and over. There are privacy setting so you can keep it to just those invited if you prefer. You can also set up a calendar to request help with rides or other things you need. Not sure if you were aware of the site. I know there will be many more suggestions from others as well. Let us know how things are going.
