    Today Fran and John speak with a couple who were caregivers for their first spouses when they were diagnosed with cancer. They both went through difficult times caregiving for their spouses, and through tragic loss. They came through their grief, found each other, and turned to volunteerism to channel that energy. Today they are amazing advocates for cancer patients, caregivers, and families of cancer patients. Theirs is truly an inspirational story for all caregivers.
