As people found out about my condition help started coming. Doctor recommendations, support from work, friends visiting, but the thing that really comforted me was knowing that I had a family standing by me. Ironically after living in the US for 10 years I had been back in Brazil for only 2 weeks - really made me pretty certain that there is a very good reason for this to be happening, the chain of events was just too perfect given the condition.
In any case I had a hard time thinking about the future, and every time I thought about my family, particulalry my wife, daughters, mom and dad I would start crying like a baby. I knew I could not live like this. When I got back from the hospital and saw my daughters for the first time after the diagose I cried profusely. They asked me what was wrong and I said that my tear box was full and after a week without seeing them I just missed them too much. I promised my daughter that once I emptied my tear box I would not cry again.
