Joined: May 2010 Posts: 224 | So very sorry to read this.  . So young and such a fighter! I know you are amazing for all the help you and your husband have given him. it's tough on us, but sometimes, I think harder for those around us watching us go through it! Caregivers are very special people and we greatly appreciate them. Don't really know what else to say other then you and your family are in my thoughts and hopefully he doesn't suffer and the pain is eased with chemo!!
