Hi Cas,

Welcome and I'm sorry you have to be here on your friend's behalf. It's the club nobody wants to belong to but we are a caring group and are pulling for your friend to get through this rough journey. I didn't have a caretaker, per se, as my husband passed away suddenly just 9 days after my diagnosis but one thing I do know, if I had had a primary caregiver, is to just have somebody by my side, in my corner, holding my hand and reassuring me that I can get through this too. You are a very special person and friend to have. I think Gary really touched all the bases about what to expect and what you might be able to do for your friend. The journey is a long and rough road but I know you both can pull through this just like the rest of us on the OCF.

Again, welcome and keep us posted as your friend's treatments progress.

Nancy
