Hi Chris - welcome to the family. We have a lot of caregivers here as members and they all play a very important role in the life of someone else. It's admirable that you are trying to help your ex-wife, many wouldn't be able to do that.

Is she the type person to have a lot of friends, especially the ones who live in the same city as her. If so, and she is willing to ask them for help her road will be a lot smoother through treatment. If on the other hand, she is new to the city and doesn't know anyone yet, it will be harder and more of the burden will fall on your shoulders.

Like others have asked I'm also curious as to why her cancer is inoperable. I'm sure there is some form of treatment she is a candidate for.

Keep us informed, better yet get her to join the forum herself. It's great when caregivers get involved with learning about the disease and treatment, but it will be even better for her if she learns it herself.

take care
Tony
