Bio

Care giver. This is my 2nd journey, I lost my 1st husband to Melanoma 7 years ago, and now 6 months into my 2nd journey with my 2nd husband I’ve decided I am in desperate need of a support group. I’m 44 years old, when I lost my 1st husband I still had 3 children at home, twin 12 year old boys and a 15 year old daughter, they watched their father suffer there whole lives, that is all they knew, now my children are watching their step father travel the same journey, 2 of my children are struggling immensely. My daughter and I both have been diagnosed with PTSD. My son is in the military and was sent home on emergency leave because he became so distraught, but I feel he has his emotions under control now. My husband is stage 3, and struggling with his home injections of interferon, he says the home injections are worse than the high dose infusions at the office everday.
