Slick don't worry, crying is a way to let go and believe it or not relax. If you keep everything bottled up it will only get worse and not help yourself at all. You have lot's of people who care for you and sounds like a good support team there. It's ok to cry once in awhile and remember you have your friends and family who are there with a strong shoulder to lean on. In my entire life my mom was always strong, I never saw her break down or cry. She was diagnosed with breast cancer almost 15 years ago That was the first and last time I actually saw her shaken. Bottom line she drew strength from friends and family and has been cancer free for all these years. I have no doubt you have the strength and will to make it through this time and look forward to the future. Take care of yourself and don't worry about what needs to be done around the house, you'll have plenty of time to take of that once your well again.
