Very true Joe,
I know that my first thoughts when I was told that I had cancer was my children. They are 12 and 10 now. My son missed 19 days of school last year, all starting right after my diagnosis.
Fortunately, all change is not bad. I am closer to my family and extended family members that I have ever been. Some good can come from evil!

Cheryl
