Dear Donna,
Sorry for your trouble. It sounds like you need to find a site other than a gynecology site for your medical questions. For caregiver support, I suggest you start by checking out http://www.onelist.com, which has a large variety of listservers for mutual support for many different interests and problems. You local hospital(s) may also have local, in-person caregiver support. Best of luck.
