From what I have read about cancer and its etiology is that the cancer cells are programmed to seek out blood supplies, particularly arteries.
I truly believe that it is much harder to be a caregiver than a patient (I have worn both hats having been my fathers primary caregiver while he was in hospice care while dying from non-Hodgkins lymphoma). My wife still struggles with issues from my cancer. I am putting your and Scott's name into my churches prayer group and I will be praying for you daily.
Today our pastor gave a message about "worry" and said one thing that really touched me (and I frequently struggle with this myself): "To worry about tomorrow is to rob today of it's joy"
