hello sophie,
i had many of the same experiences with my husband Del. the last 2 weeks of radiation he was barely "there". slept most of the day, and still sleeps 14 hours every day. and if you're the primary caregiver, its like you are holding the bag emotionally. i feel so guilty when i am discouraged, or have been crying. i feel like i have to keep up the encouragement, but all this is so tiring, you know... and you're working!! so,just take an extra little time for yourself if you can..
thinking of you
