Thanks for the facebook site. What is your facebook name? I will "friend" you. Or you can "friend" me: Sherry Halpert Davis

Jill: You are the first to mention "our own sadness" as caregivers. I read something today at the cancer center that I really liked. "Don't count the days. Instead, make each day matter". It helped me a little because I am so busy being a caregiver I seldom think of "my outcome" or "my prognosis" or what "my life will be like" (both during the cancer and after). It's all about my husband. And though that's where I intend to keep it, sometimes my sadness gets in the way. Hope you AND your guy remain positive and "make each day matter". I am here for you. Love and hugs Sherry. Oh yeah: the doctor did say today that the diagnosis is definately ogliodendroglioma with astrocytoma and she also said that Walter seemed to be doing better today. :-)

Hey Jill: How's it going today? How's your guy feeling? How about you. Sending you positive thoughts for a good weekend.
