    Rose may even though I was sad and terribly distraught I would have done absolutely anything for my husband.He continued to be his usual kind ,considerate and loving self and that helped us so much.I felt though
    that we were on 2 sep arate journeys running parallel to each other at times but supporting each other as we could.

    Well I have cried every day for the past 5 months sometimes a big cry that gives me a headache and sometimes many small ones.Sometimes private other times in shops or over the phone and I hate feeling that way.Sometimes I go for a walk with tears running.I just keep going but I really wish I was my usual self but I think that self is gone

    This post made me feel rather sad.I found the situation of being someones lover and virtually overnight their carer very difficult and so sad.Having very gentle hugs and more kisses is all I can offer

    Good luck with the chemo-my sister started today for a different cancer.To me the American health system sounds too complicated and with too many players.Ours in Australia is more of a blend of the 2 types of system

    Tom I would like to send a few sympathy vibes your way also.My husband had a few lumps on the head too,a bit anoying and aparrently not that common but they actually shrank back in size and never caused much problem.

    Hi I am convinced that my husbands diagnosis resulte d from extensive travel in Southeast Asia as a young man.Ihave seen an Australian mortality report on Korean veterans which suggests a link with cholangiocarcinoma but is not conclusive it is dated 2003,I dont know if there is anything more recent.I personally feel sad that there was no public awareness that I picked up on so that we may have caught the disease early

    Really we are all wonderful .We have fires in Victoria and I worry about that.My husband Joel worked in some of these places-he was a jounalist- and I cant imagine what he would think.He was very engaged in what was going on in the world and I miss his input
    Janet my friends 80yr old mother has been evacuated!
