Oh yeah, I've heard about that. That is the one I'm not looking forward to. Our oncologist warned me that he will turn into a grizzly bear. I'm ok with that as I don't think he's had an opportunity to vent and let it all out. That may be a good thing for HIM. I think i can handle it but only because I know that it will make things better on the long run.

I was also warned that he might want to give up half way through the treatment. I've already warned him that if we start the treatment, we finish the treatment even if that means I have to tide his butt to the car seat and drag his butt to the hospital.

This site has provided me with so much information and support. I'm ready Gary.

So I guess in our situation things will get twice as ugly since he will be doing chemo and radiation at the same time, huh?

So be it, bring it on. We are SO ready to get this over with.

You are great Gary and your wife is a strong person but her love for you is even stronger.
