I break down every time I hear it...it so describes how those first days and weeks felt after Bill's diagnosis..he didn't have a clue how to move forward (even though he is a degreed engineer) and I finally figured out that "If it was to be, it was up to ME!" I felt as though I was walking thru a horrible storm and there was no one to show me the way and there was so much riding on Bill getting the best possible treatment and no one was running the show.
It was at that point that I found OCF and subsequently a CCC near here and above all else I realized that Bill's fate was in the hands of the "Great Physician." So, I wasn't alone and that has made all the difference.
