We will be here to help you both get thru this.
As a caregiver dont forget to take time for yourself too. You have a very difficult job taking care of your husband, advocating for him and running the household are only a few things you do daily. You probably feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Many caregiver will seek out a therapist to help them deal with all the changes of having a spouse with cancer. Quite a few even take anxiety meds to help them thru the rough days. Its nothing to be ashamed of if you need a hand, we do understand and know what its like. Im glad you joined our group. We are here for not just your husband but you as well.
