Hi, Sallie
When people asked me how I was doing when my husband was in treatment, I tended to burst into tears. It was very frustrating. However, one of my friends would badger me into going out to lunch with her. It was VERY good for me, and let me take better care of my husband when I got back home. The next few weeks are going to be difficult for both of you, but remember that to be able to care for your husband you have to care for yourself as well. It's not selfish, it's sensible! We have made it through, and you will too.
