Hi Waters. By your name, I need to ask, which coast are you on, or an inland lake?

Please test the waters here, and tell about your caregiving.

We welcome you, and just like you, we are not happy to be here. However, this is a great support forum, and we welcome you. Please share your story. Adelle

How can I put my "profile" below my messages to let people know of our situation? (I'm not sure if I'm asking this correctly). :)
I am a FWS. My FIS had bowel cancer with 25 metastasized tumours in both his lungs, but they were slow growing and not blocking any airways. He was first diagnosed in 2006, and died in June 2012.

Mine info is in my "signature line". You should be able to go to the "user control panel", then click on profile, and go to "edit signature line".

You can adjust the font, pick colors, etc.

Welcome!! :)
