I am sorry to hear your recent news. Each time I hear that I can vividly remember the exact second being told myself and how heavy the load was. You are right in looking at everything and I believe the caregiver scenario is a very important piece of the puzzle. I am hoping you get all the information you need to make the best possible decision and get started on your treatment.
