Hi! I was just told the end of May 2003 that I have stage 3. I underwent open exploratory surgery on June 25. They were able to get 90 - 95 % of the tumors out but had to leave the one attached to my intestines. I had the first 3 days of chemo a week ago and did well with it so far. I have a very good attitude, but am very frustrated when you have a spouse that is not supportive. The medical people along with staff social workers have told him that it would be helpful for him and it would be helping to be supportive to me, to go to spouse meetings at the Gilda Radner center in our town so that he can learn about cancer and how best to help. Is there anyone out there trying to deal with cancer and having the added stress of dealing with someone that is not supportive? I am so tired of hearing whining that amounts to: it is all about him and not about me?
