His hands are cracking and peeling but he still works everyday -- says if I quit what would I do. He has no other side effects.

Betty, Karmen, Beth, Mike - Actions speak so much louder than words. I don't know what ugliness has exposed itself, but I hope you will ignore anyone whose actions or communications are judgemental, non-committal, ill-intended, and/or smell of dysfunctional dynamics. Have you ever been around people who make you feel drained instead of energized/comforted? Stay away from those with negative energy. Life is too precious to waste on those types of interactions. This time in your life needs to be about staying positive and healthy. One thing about serious illnesses – it brings out both the best and the worst in people.

I'm really glad to hear that you know some of your caregivers. Betty, I hope that the radiation therapy is keeping you pain free. I’m really glad to hear that you know some of your caregivers.
