Ginger,Scott, and Colleen, Thank you for welcoming me to the group, and for your kind comments.
Scott, I agree that accepting what we cannot change is one of the most difficult aspects of caregiving, and maybe life in general! And letting go can be a breath of fresh air. 🙂
Ginger, my husband had his first treatment of this new cycle, today. I don’t think I was quite prepared for that feeling of stepping back in time to what treatment is like for him. He has been feeling almost like his "old self" lately, so it’s difficult to watch him have to go thru it again. He will also not be able to go to work on a regular basis, so that will throw us both off. We do better when in our "routine." He is now scheduled for four treatment cycles, and then they will see where he is at.
Thank you all again….i am so appreciative of being able to have open and honest dialogue with others who have "been there, done that…"
