Dee: Stress is real and it does take a lot out of care-givers. A support group or therapist or some good anti-depressants may help you to get thru the next few weeks/months. Stress is real. Also, a support group for you, the caregiver, is very important - could be friends, family, a cancer support group, whatever. We all get thru life with a little help from our friends (or a lot!).

My sister-in-law was smart to organize a group of friends to help her husband with chemo, radiation, etc, so she didn't have to bear the full burden. It is especially hard for you if you are the main care-giver. Sending hugs your way - Candace
