    Hello, Alvin. Welcome to our community. I'm glad you've found us.

     

    Thank you for letting us know about your book - it's sounds to be an important read. There's much to learn from the personal side of medical care - what healthcare providers feel and how they, too, are affected by all they see and hear and struggle with right along side their patients.

     

    I'm sorry to hear that you lost your wife to breast cancer. How great that you adjusted your life to support and care for her as you did.

    There are many men like you in our community. I hope you find it helpful to connect with them through all they've shared and the support they offer.

     

    Write again soon. I bet there's much more to learn from you.

     

    Best,

    Maria
