Funny thing about that notebook..... Audrey made one up after the 1st visit to the urologist. She knew we lost our minds when the Dr. used the word cancer.
Her notebook has had few entries since the surgery. just a note every 3 months that says..... "All Clear. No sign of cancer" :)

I have said it here many times; My caregiver suffered even more than I (the patient) did. We all owe a debt of gratitude to the person who was there for us. As My wife said; "Ten thousand times I had to answer the question "How is George?" But only one person asked; "How are You?"

Here's to our "Co Patient" We BOTH beat this thing!

A notebook/journal is a great idea to capture things as we go. I went out and bought one today. Great idea!

The note book idea is very good.

Don't depend on the doctors to keep your records. You have to do this yourself. Remember to include any unusual
things that happen along the way. They may not seem important now, but could be very important later on.

P.S. Good thing Doug is screening your posts, it gained him a whole year of freedom you tried to cheat him out of. :laugh:

Correction....Doug has been cancer free for 3 years. He also wanted me to add that I have a notebook that I use solely to write any notes related to his surgeries, treatments, and appointments. I even have a picture of Doug and his doctor in there. :)
