Thank you all. Your responses are very encouraging.

Today was a down day - worried about long term limitations and length of recovery time (we were forewarned), on top of the months of tx we have already endured. But what are the options?

It's the first time my husband and I cried together since initial dx. During tx the nurses repeatedly said, "What a great team you two make." My reply was, "That's because we were a good team before cancer."
