Add me to the list of people that says really stupid shit when finding out that someone has cancer or a terminal illness. If I have time to think before I speak, I try to say things that I think the person would want to hear (my family is VERY religious so a comment about God or someone going to a better place would be a positive thing for them to hear). But I've also gotten blind sided and put my foot in my mouth... I have to admit that I DO think that someone who is in fantastic shape has a much better chance of beating an illness than a fat, couch-potato. I mean, there has to be some payback for not eating carbs and hitting the gym, right ?

GG how many more weeks does your DH have left of Radiation treatments ?
One more week! I do not know how people manage 10-12 weeks of this. Thursdays and Fridays are the worst (because of the cumulative effects of 3-4 days straight). I am limited to what I can prepare for meals because he has trouble swallowing. His skin is a deep red with blistering (he is a redhead with hyper sensitive skin). He applies a special cream several times daily that is supposed to help and he is taking ibuprofin several times a day to help with the pain.... Sorry. It does help to vent a bit. He is so touchy and snappy that I am walking on eggshells. I can't talk to him about my fears (that's the last thing he needs right now). I am trying to be a rock for him but inside I'm a mess....
