A field guide for men who are supporting their wife or significant other in becoming free of cancer. Especially when they are hit by a stroke in mid-treatment. I outline the process and experiences, and offer tips and hints for others. My dear wife, Meagan, died from Stage 4 melanoma cancer.

If Cancer is an Earthquake
There are going to be tsunamis. I've had to deal with a number of tsunamis over the last couple months and their effects. It makes it pretty hard to be managing the earthquake zone plus the remote sites ravaged by the tsunami. This is all in code of course. Meagan represents the earthquake and zone of immediate impact and where a tremendous amount of energy goes to supporting recovery and rebuilding and thinking about and preparing for aftershocks. But there are the impact zones of the tsunami. And they take more or less attention, focus and support depending on unique circumstances. So at the moment I am stretched a bit thin.
