Tina, I re-read my posting and didn't want to be so negative about your husband's situation based on my own experience, I apologize for that.

Gary and Mark offered excellent advice. Remember, try to take one day at a time, that's all any of us can do. THINK POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!Let's pray it is not cancer, but if it is, it is NOT the end, as Mark said. I am coming up on my two year anniversary since my diagnosis. SMILE!!!! Take Care, Carol
