Dear Margaret,

What a challenge to take care of two children and to be a CG to your husband! I have only completed two weeks of treatment with my husband (and it has gone ok except for a few days) but I have been exhausted a good part of the time. I agree with Amy that being a CG is demanding in terms of time and managing both the expected and the unexpected but when you add in the stress and worry it is often exhausting. Plus, there's no real "endpoint" as completing treatment is one milestone, but then the recovery process with its unpredictable path is next ... I'm new to this board and I am in awe of what I have read on this board about the bravery, compassion, dedication, and persistence of both those with SCC and their CGs. I hope I can do as good a job as so many of you but I know that there will be some days when I wonder what I am doing in this life!
