Michelle,

It's kind of funny. Last night I thought that I would not be coming back (at least for awhile). But sure enough, the second I turned on my computer, this is the first place I went. Although I haven't been very involved here, I can't help checking up on everyone. I have been reading all the posts for about two months and feel concerned about everyone. I can't even tell you how worried I was when Ezjim had his surgery last month. The days felt like weeks waiting for an update. Meanwhile, I have never even posted to him or received one from him but I was so concerned. Again, I felt the same way with your husband Dan. I told you this before, but I felt somewhat connected to you because of your age and having small children. You are dealing with so much with such grace and strength. It is very inspiring. You have inadvertently given me strength. I realize now that I need to face whatever comes my way head on. There is no turning back now. I am just going to take one day at a time.

I have learned so much from this forum. Not only about cancer, but about how to deal with it from the caregivers perspective. It really is a wonderful place.
