I am amazed with all of you who are responding to my original post. I cant even begin to tell all of you how thankful I am for this forum. It is really helping me to get the "correct" information, and you are all giving me some of what the future holds. The scariest part for me is the unknowns, what our life is going to be like with cancer, and what treatments are going to look and feel like. It is so nice to know that I can come here in my lonely and happy moments and share with all of you, and really have someone who understands exactly! I know so many men who have been in my spot, but never another woman, and to have this support is wonderful. I know I will have more questions, thank you for being there, hopefully I will have the insight for someone else down the line.
Eriks surgery is tomorrow morning, and so we are preparing all his favorites tonight!!! (minus the tomato sauces)
