Chris,
Thanks for the warm welcome. I was the caregiver for my daughter when she was diagnosed with lymphoblastic lymphoma when she was not quite 4. Thankfully, the chemo worked and we now have a happy, healthy (and very talkative 2-1/2 year old grandson). My biggest concerns are: (1) communication - being able to define his and my expectations of my role and (2) I will be the sole caregiver during and after his bone marrow transplant. I’m already feeling somewhat overwhelmed and am worried about how that will all work out.
