Well, I have to say that my gut reaction is to ask you for your address so I can drive there and KICK your husbands ass. WITH THAT SAID, we all know that everyone reacts differently to how this disease impacts our lives but his reaction is over the top and particularly cruel. Fear can make us say and do some hurtful things but he is over that line, IMO. You need to find a support system outside of your family it seems and your hospital can probably help you with that. Call the social service department and ask for help, you're going to need it. In your shoes, I would ask my husband if he can handle the emotional rollercoaster of you POSSIBLY having to deal with further treatment. If he can't, ask him to dissapear for awhile. Do you have family members that could come and stay with you? Wish I could help. Minnie
