      From ronnie1 June 8

      Hi Colcass,
      Being the Caregiver isn't easy. I am the one with mrcc and my wife is my advocate and caregiver. I notice how hard it is on her when she doesn't think I am watching. I am a 5 year survivor and I think it has been a harder 5 years for my wife than for me. Daily Strength is a wonderful place to vent and share. never feel guilty.
      Have a good week and keep in touch with all your friends at Daily Strength.

      Here is your rainbow after the storm. Ask for Zofran - that is what I take to help with the nausea. I really like it. Yea mom! I am so glad she is doing well. You take care of you too.

      From margie73 June 6

      I will pray for your mom and your family. Remeber that everyday the medical profession is making advaces in treatment for cancer. Tell them your concerns. Make sure your voice is heard. Be nice about it and they will understand. Most Drs will talk you through every step they are taking and every option available. Good luck.
