Perhaps dealing with oral cancer is harder to go through emotionally for a caregiver than it is for us, the ones stricken by this dastardly disease. I, for one, have never asked the question " why?" or " why me?". Although others have felt sorry for me I have never felt sorry for myself. Maybe it is just easier to deal with emotionally this way, or maybe having a serious disease just puts one in this frame of mind, less worried than those who love us.
