Today is my 50th Anniversary - My husband has alzheimer's and prostate cancer. He fell 2 months ago and is a nursing facility and will never be home. I'm taking arimidex for recurrent breast cancer - it just sucks!

    So very sorry for the both of you. This sounds like a day if you have children to lean on them, if not friends and other relatives. Not a day to be alone. Try a little trip to your place of worship and pray for strenght to see the day through and for tomorrow. My husband has prostate cancer in remission, psa of 60 two years ago. I had bc three years ago, we have been married 43 years very soon so I know in seven years we could be in your shoes or not even here to see the sunshine, birdS sing and care for our little dogs. God often decides how are life is going to be. There are times life just sucks but there are good things to remember and often as we age that is what we hang on to. God Bless Linda

    It is a difficult time for you and I am very sorry for you and your husbands pain. You have made an incredible accomplishment even though it doesn't appear to you as such. I think you and your husband deserve great congradulations for still being together and able to support him as he goes through this. Amazing courage...
    Sometimes finding the simplest of things to cling to can make the difference in this world for us. I think sometimes we are hard on ourselves when we should be cherishing our spirits at every cost.
    Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing, keeping you close to our hearts.
    Be good to yourself,
    Tara
