    I am so sorry that you and your wife are going through this. Here are a few web sites that should help you get in contact with people going through what you both are going through.

    The Cancer Survivors Network, supplying information, resources, chat, stories, discussion forums and support for cancer survivors and caregivers.

    Anderson Network - Patient-to-Patient Cancer Support Group - M. D. Anderson Cancer Center

    There is a hotline number on this link in which you can speak with someone about your situation: Home - Gilda Radner Familial Ovarian Cancer Registry

    I know how trying this can be for both the patient and the caregiver/spouse and. Ask as many questions of these organizations as you can think of. Find out if there are any support groups that meet on a regular basis where you live. If your wife is undergoing treatment at a local hospital, they should have a patient advocate or someone who can give you contact information on all the resources available to you both. I wish you both the best of luck and if you have further questions, please do not hesitate to post back.
