    After my husband died of a brain stem glioma, I "kicked myself" for all the things I didn't do that might have made a difference in his treatment. I wish so much that I had followed my instincts. For instance, my instincts told me to get information so I went to the library and checked out a big stack of newer looking books on cancer. For some reason I didn't read them. I mention this act of omission and procrastination(?) /avoidance(?)/ fear, because I also wished that my husband's medical team had hooked us up with a cancer 101 class if such a thing exists. If not it should. Your title "Cancer 101" caught my attention. I hope it helps all those affected by cancer have the information they need.

    You can stop "kicking yourself" altogether because there in no such class as Cancer 101, nor anything akin to it. It sounds to me that your husband was blessed, with or without your "instincts", he was blessed to have you in his life, for however long. As for me, I have battled Breast Cancer since 2009 and without a "You". You sound like a lovely person and partner, ... God Bless
