Hi Ruby,

Now is the time for family and close friendships. Have you called the American Cancer Society or any other organization? There are a lot of caring people out there that volunteer. What about a congregation? Do you belong to any groups? Have you asked your Doctor? I would call the ACS.

Do NOT ignore this...it will not go away on it's own. Why does your husband have a mind of a four year old? Do not let yourself get depressed...if you have to medicate then see the Doctor and get the proper medication to help.

Are you in a small town? What about insurance? What kind of facility are you going to? Are you far from family and friends? How many Doctors have you seen? Second opinions? Third opinions? Can the Doctor schedule the PET? Sounds like you need a team leader. Mine was my ENT. And if your husband is truly 4 years old...He'll be just fine on jelly sandwiches for a couple of months...Even if it takes all year to get better...let him slap those PJ's together...he'll be fine...Let's worry about getting you back to health first.

We can beat this thing...I'll be starting my rads in September too!
