Hi all. I am Scott and my wife waged her war with cancer for just over 14 1/2 years. On this topic I would just like to add, from both our perspectives, the vast majority of people chose to not communicate with her once she got sick. Only two of all our 'friends' reached out and stayed in touch with her. Those two folks made a world of difference, so no matter your situation, I believe it is better to communicate than not! Stumbling and a few ummms and uhhhs are totally ok!

As the Reverend Martin Luther King said "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
