Well, I WAS a care giver. On the morning of October 31, 2008, my wife Sue of 39 years passed away. She had fought breast cancer for almost 3 years. She was diagnosed with a lump in November 2005. We decided to have a mastectomy and the reconstruction. In December 2007, she complained of a soreness under her arm. It was just going to be exploratory surgery to check the sentinal node. It ended up being the removal of twenty-four cancerous lymph nodes. She underwent chemo from January until September. The oncologist told us then that the cancer had changed to a triple negative condition. But, there were more drugs that could be given. Sue said, no more. The drugs would not have extended her life but a few more weeks and the side effects were not so good.

I really miss her... everyday.
