@tinasims, Hi Tina. That is good news about your cousin's husband doing so well after his lung transplant. They have certainly come a long way over the years with that. It is sad about his wife though. That is pretty common for caregivers to neglect themselves though. For one thing it can be very exhausting & stressful lcaring for a chronically ill person. As we all know, stress can also bring on illness. (As for colon cancer, it can come on with zero signs, that is why colon screening is so important.)
