Thanks everyone. I really needed to hear all of that. It's amazing how much better I have felt over the past couple of days just by reading your replies and just reading other posts of people sharing in their experiences. My husband and I have really become a team since all of this began. He is inquisitive and wants to know what is going to happen to him but doesn't have the emotional strength to do his own research on it. So when he has a question about something I come to this site to find some answers and then share with him what I have learned. I have even made phone calls to others who have had a similar experience to learn about their story. I think that has been a source of comfort to him knowing that I can give him some of the answers that he needs. Thanks again everyone for sharing your experiences and being a shoulder to lean on. I hope to be able to do the same for others.
