Hi Helen, I just read this blog and with my own experience - I shake my head in wonder, they say people are 'scared' and 'don't know how to deal with it' - gee lucky for them they haven't got cancer! I remember when I went in for my first operation - my husband actually 'text messaged' my children to let them know I was out of surgery - he was pretty stunned that none of then had rung me the night before....In another surgery had my port inserted and the doctore hit an artery (apparently my arteries a bit higgeldy piggeldy) but no one seemed all that concerend. I was glad I had my husband with me - because I have found it a very lonely road in general. I have a couple of friends interstate and an aunt who ring me regularly - apart from that, it is indeed a lonely road - and frightening for us who are going through it - this site has saved my sanity on many occasion - Hope your father-in-law is ok, x x x hugs Josie
