They have so much information and are able to give you perspective on your situation.
I agree it is difficult to go from super healthy and then facing up to ill health. But trying to think positive about getting through this hurdle, I feel is a good start. Sad to hear about your husband being ill too. Hopefully you can surround yourself with family and friends to be able to support you both.
Take care
