Mandi,
Thank you for the reminder about the #s. I work in a research institution, so my first reaction after my husband's dx was to find facts. Cancer, illness & healing is so personal & unique that the #s didn't help me at all. In fact they just scared me & stressed me out even more. As a caregiver, that was no help to me at all. Bob is 2 months out of tx, been given a "cancer-free" dx from the oncologist & we are working to return some sense of normalcy in our lives. We still haven't been married a year, yet our relationship feels much more strengthened after getting thru these last months. Thank you for your reminder, I needed it.
