My girls are right on the money, as they usually are, they have been there, done that. MD Anderson(Texas) & Dana Farber Cancer Institute(Boston) both have my husband's records, you can read his depressing bio below. Our doctor happens to be seperate from these two places of interest.

I am so sorry to hear you pain and desperation, I am so sorry we all have to meet here, but thank God we have somewhere to go. It is a tough job being a caregiver to someone you love more than anything. Please read the rest of the posts as they come in and explore your options at the end. Of course I wish I could give you better advice, but with time these 'Great Warriors of Mine' will shine through as always, keep heart Donna.

My husband and myself will be praying for Pat and yourself, we will send out positive vibes, and most certainly will send out giant hugs for you both. Keep the faith and stay strong for your dear love Pat, needs you now more than ever. May peace fill your home and heart and follow you both wherever you end up.

I too ask, where did our lives go? It is a sad question that shall never be answered.
