No doubt about it you have a bit of a rough road ahead but don`t despair.
We are 3 years out of treatment and Pete is doing really well. Our life actually seems better now, because we have faught the beast and won!

As a caretaker you must remember to look after yourself, go get a massage , get your hair done, time by yourself is essential.
Don`t be shy and take all help offered, you will need it.

Welcome to the forum and take care .
