The anxiety is about equal for the person who is diagnosed, and the person who loves them deeply. After facing Cancer, or any number of equally scary things, both parties suffer from a bit of PTSD. It is mind numbing and soul shattering and it takes more than one brain to process things like major surgery and chemo and the fact that your life is in jeopardy.


It is just easier to have a buddy. Health issues increase with age.

So right Gracie. My wife had an appointment in Orlando today with a very specialized Ophthalmologist. She asked me to go with her and I did. It was not a big deal but it made her feel more comfortable, so I was happy to do so.
