Hi Deb,

I just have to say my husband has been wonderful, in every way. Sure, we have our arguements and tempers are short sometimes. But for the better part, I don't think I would want to go through this journey with anyone else. Whether its for me, the kids or whatever, as long as it makes things easier for me and helps to fight this thing he's all for it. Im sorry I don't want to sound like Im bragging or tooting my own horn, but with everything thats gone on this year, I think he deserves a little pat on the back. Especially for still being the man I married, even though I gained 17 lbs and bald.
Deb, maybe your husband is still having a hard time accepting this. A friend of mine up the street, said he never once said or discussed cancer with his wife. He just couldn't. What is the significance of November? Hope things work out well.
