 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.
 
 Best wishes.
