Kim,
I need to thank you too, your post brought me to tears and gave me strength in knowing I am not really as alone in this as I appear to be...I think I will follow Anita's lead and print it out for future inspiration. My husband is still in treatment (30 rads done, 13 to go!) and we still face the likelyhood of a neck dissection, but I'm already anticipating the "watchful waiting phase" because I know it will be a difficult time too. I think I keep looking for "and end" and what I need to keep in mind that there is really no end...and that is probably a good thing.
Keep the faith everyone... Jan
