Okay, so maybe I can't really function as a male if I can't get my references to anatomy correct!

Anyway, thanks for poking fun at me (god knows Danny G does it all the time!).

Thanks also for the kind words from Anita. The pedestal you elevate this message to is a bit lofty but I humbly accept the praise with gratitude. It's easy to speak from the heart when you have had good mentors-and Dave. my boys, and the trusted circle of friends here at OCF continue to amaze me with their wisdom every day.

The other thing I meant to say earlier and didn't is that the post-treatment "watchful waiting phase" becomes almost more of a curious hell for caregivers than the active treatment phase is because the survivor has survived and relaxed some while the co-survivor/partner remains on high alert. I'm still trying to figure out how to process my feelings around life in the post-treatment zone.
