For Al in Canada.

Hi Al, I was wondering how Linda is doing? I think of you two daily and pray for NED soon. How are you doing? We worry about the patient but then the spouse or caretaker gets lefted out. I asked a spouse(male) this once and his grabbed me with a hug and started crying saying no one ever asked him how he was doing. His wife was not doing well at the time which no one knew! I felt good that I asked him but felt bad he had to respond like that. Hope to hear from you. hugs, Sandy

Sandy,
Thanks for making us more aware of the fragile condition of the caregivers, whether they be a spouse or other family member, they all need support at times, especially when treatments are underway and all the waiting in between with getting results and whatever comes next.
We support every effort on behalf of the Caregiver.
Our mission goes on with the help of the Caregivers.

Without THEM this would TRULY be an unbearable situation. Thank you Sandy for bringing this up and my prayers are with you ALL. Take care and God bless.
