I am sorry about your dilemma but I don't see how you can try to handle him and you during your treatment. Ask your cancer center if they know of any volunteer organization. What about church? Maybe call the American Cancer Society? Lets hope someone else has been down your road and can offer a solution. One things for sure...don't forgo your treatment if you can't find someone to care for your husband or it's a good chance you won't be able to take care of him forever.
