Michelle -

The caregivers on this site have stood in your shoes and totally understand. The stress of a cancer diagnosis is huge and neither you nor your husband should under-estimate the emotional and mental side of this disease.

The day my husband was diagnosised I told him that 'we' have cancer. The past 14 months have been nearly impossible to describe - but after everything we have been through, I think Kenny has gotten the point I was trying to make.

Your physical and mental health are critically important to your husband right now. Take the time to visit your doctor, explain the situation and accepting help. Sit down with your boss and do the same thing. Days went by were my work and office family was my escape.

Visit this site often. Vent, rant, rave and scream. The support you receive here is completely sincere. The advise you read is given freely and with only the very best of intentions. There is no side agenda. No schedule. Visit as often as you want and post as often as you need.

Take things one day at a time. You WILL get through this -- one day at a time.

Carol
