Good to know hubs is in good company. Yours and mine would be off together. We had been talking about the upcoming treatments so much, it never even occurred to me that he had blocked the actual appointment details. 🙂

So far so good and in chemo treatments that’s an awesome thing! Glad they took the first doses slowly – we’d all rather you spend the time with your laptop and chatting with friendly people at the center than at the hospital with an out of control allergic reaction.

I totally get the thing with your hubs – men (shaking my head) “bless their hearts”. My husband would probably have left as well – because if yours hasn’t learned to read the subtext after 17 years there’s no hope for mine at 11 years.

In marriage so many things like this come down to communication and the different personalities involved – and that becomes even more difficult when navigating unknown circumstances resulting in abnormal (for you and him) responses. I’m so glad you were able figure it out so you have a better idea of what is going on (or not going on) in his head and can put a system in place to give him a tangible reminder of what is going on with your treatments.

I’m also so happy that he was able to be there to give you the much needed love and support you needed on a scary day like today.

I just want to hug you both!!!
