Brenda:
That is a super idea! When Colleen was diagnosed, I found very little on the internet where men could go and ask questions about what to do, how to be supportive, what to expect, to share their thoughts, concerns and ideas.
I asked my brother-in-law (Colleen's sister also had breast cancer) if he would be interested in setting up a website for husband supporters but he was even less aware of how to go about setting up a website than I was. I was hoping to set up something by now, but I vastly underestimated the time and energy required to support a loved one with cancer.
Perhaps, a sub-forum on this website may be appropriate. We could call it "Husbands of Breast Cancer Survivors" or something like that so that the web search spiders could find it easier. It may bring more people to this site, which could or could not be a good thing.
I don't want to volunteer Bill for anything, but I think we have some good candidates for moderators for the section.
So Joe, if there is something I can do to help out, please let me know. It would be an honor to give something back to this great community.
