Hello All,
Thanks for your input & advice. I think we might end up commuting for the first 2 weeks - after that we will see about getting a place to stay close to the hospital. I'm going to suggest Mom books some time off from her part-time job now for the latter part of Dad's Tx so she can stay with him. This enables me to continue working so that I can help them with the financial challenges. This whole process requires a lot of planning doesn't it. And, I'm sure plans change and evolve as we go. It is helping me by getting all of your input - THANK YOU!
Malka - what a wonderful suggestion you made about my daughter. It gives her a role and a place in all this. Thank you for opening my eyes to this.
I'm not sure if Dad will have chemo or not - we'll know more after the CT on Apr. 9th - I'll post again once I know.
Thanks again for all of your support. You give me the focus I need right now.......
Thanks,
Amanda, 42
