Fear can drive patients a bit (ok - a LOT) crazier than they were even before the cancer thing - I ended up buying my wife a BMW Z4 Roadster to make amends for my literally delusional behaviour (mainly due to all of the narcotics). Caregivers have it very hard so feel free to vent here anytime - guilt free!
