I am a Caregiver

I've heard the word cancer numerous times.All the commercials they play everyday.But I never really heardddd the word cancer until 01/26/2018 at 10:00am.I just finished up a tough business meeting(on a friday so I was ready for the weekend) that went well and was feeling pretty good.Then my phone rang.I just remember hitting the floor.My life has forever changed.Its like there was this little light inside me that has burnt out and will never light up again.My family and friends have all noticed.My son was diagnosed at the age of 18 with Melanoma.Stage 3.He never even went in the sun and here I was tanning everyday.Now I have to learn how to cope for my son.He seems better then me.
