As the description states, this is a place to share, discuss and vent all the issues and emotions that are part of being a caregiver. Questions and comments specific to treatment are best suited for posting in the other "Treatment and Beyond" spaces.
To sum up the relationships between Caregivers and those we care about and for, nothing says it better than the following posts by Maria (MRMRSU) and Mark (TCLEFT):
For Our Guys
You're worth every ounce of worry.
You're worth every tear I've shed,
And every night spent revisiting
All those articles I've read.
You're worth every minute of planning
In keeping schedules straight -
Every appointment, every blood test
And every news that we await.
You're worth all the questions asked
When you're too ashamed to say,
Or when you've just had enough of this,
That you drift so far away.
You're worth every aching emotion
That consumes me day and night,
And equally worthy of praise and cheer
When you win the smallest fight.
You're worth every penny that I can spend
In the hopes of finding a cure
And if anything good could be seen from this,
Let it be my love so sure.
You're my purpose and inspiration
Worthy of all that I can give,
You're the reason for everything I do,
And why I strongly live.
-Maria (MRMRSU)
From Us to You
In your actions are your truest words spoken
Your words chase the monsters from our beds
When we're feeling battered and broken
You give us this day our daily bread
We wish for you Life's greatest banquet
Even when we feel more like burnt toast
We wish for you Joy forever and always
Forever and always is when we need you the most
We wonder if this is what life intended
How could this be the purpose of our birth
But all of those deep wounds you mended
Gives us hope in what we're still worth
We could never repay such a kindness
But a promise we give sure and true
That the love that you give will remind us
To give our All and that all of it's for you

He has had some shortness of breath...I am going to stay positive!!!!! Chest films will be next week. If a lot of money in the bank is a good thing, then having a ton of emotions should add up to something too!! So glad to be able to put it all out on the table. Nice work Karen, thank-you, Sharon
Congrats...and hey, you can somewhat look at this as Uncle Sam finally doing his part to take care of YOU
