Well said George and so true that cancer happens to both the survivor and the caregiver. She made a big difference for your recovery and you both are blessed to be closer than ever. Julie

What great timing I got something today that lead me to the discovery that this is National Caregivers Month.

Here is a link to

By the way thanks for writing this George. I can't even put into words what Ed has done and been for me through all of this. I can honestly say my love and respect for him are boundless. I also had my other stand in caregivers, I am a very lucky woman.

Well said, George. We had the advantage ( :dry: ) of having gone through my wife's breast cancer together before I had bladder cancer. Nonetheless, what you say is true for us as well ~ in spades!

Hugs for all,
