Dear Jayann

I have had a wealth of experience caring for a difficult man,but i am afraid i cant give you any words of advice about yours,because mine did finish the treatment even though he now ignores all the advice he is given.I can only pray for you that very shortly,when he starts to feel really sick,he will beg you to get the doctor.Have you spoken with his doctor, it may be that they need to get a counsellor or therapist involved.Here in england we have Macmillan Nurses who come to the house and are trained in all aspects of Cancer Care both active and palliative.Do you have such a service in the states?Can you call a cancer nurse to the house.Oh dear i feel so in touch with your pain but useless in helping .You need outside help.
