I'm so sorry, Zoesmom, and any wife would react just as you did, in my view. The fact that the lymph nodes look clear is very encouraging. It could be uphill from
now on. Let's hope so.

Try to stay calm for yourself and your child's sake. Please watch over your husband as best you can, but remember that your health is important, too; you are the major care giver for the time being.

If it gets too strong for you, please call in a licensed practical nurse to assist temporarily. That could give you a break; or, if your insurance permits, please think about employing an RN to oversee the first weeks at home for your husband.

You might ask your doctor about special help at home. He could order it, probably.

Take care.
