Mary, this is a "P.S." It is to be expected, in your role as a caregiver, that you may very well experience some real frustration and even depression of your own from this point forward. During the diagnosis and treatment stages, we caregivers had lots to do. We tried to learn everything we could, absorb all the info being told us, keep up with appts, schedules, etc. and care for "our patient". For me, the last 6 months after treatment ended have been the hardest. John is feeling rotten and there is little or nothing I can do about it short of sitting and listening and badgering his Oncoligist for ways to help. [and reading everything I can HERE in hopes of picking up some tidbit to help him feel better] So if you find yourself in need of a place to vent-please come here- it's a safe, caring community. Amy
