well, aside from worrying about possible recurrence with every ache and symptom, concerned because like all of us I want to be around for my family. I never thought my husband would have his own battle to endure. My comp. is running slow so can't type too well, but looking for support. I've joined another forum specific to his disease but the ladies on this sitehave been a lifeline for me for so long...

    LittleFlower- No words of advice here, just wanted to say I am so sorry. Life can be so unfair at times. Hoping he gets into remission. (hugs)

    I am so sorry to hear about your DH diagnosis.

    Life is so unfair sometimes. Unfortunately I do know what you are going through. Two months after my dx my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. It was a huge shock and such a difficult time for our family. Fortunately we are both currently NED but the fear of recurrance is always there. I do feel that we have a much deeper understanding of how hard having cancer is because we have both been through it.

    Hugs to you and your husband. I wish you both the best ad you deal with this.

    thank you for all the replies. It boosted my mood to see some response😌 I always felt through my treatment thankful to be the patient and not the caregiver. I felt bad for those who cared about me but couldn't change the facts. I felt that must have been frustrating for them and now I get that role too.

    @shoppygirl....so wonderful you're both doing well, may God bless you both with continued NED Indefinitely.
