Just because one is an insensitve butt head don't give up. Can you call a local Hospice Center? Even if you are not at that point in your husband's care they may be able to refer you to a doctor who can help and they may have financial services available. You MUST take care of yourself. I know it's difficult to do that sometimes but you are an important part of his recovery and you can't do it if you are run down. Why not talk to your children and let them help? Maybe they feel left out especially if you are trying to be wonder woman. Is your husband on chemo long term? Some chemo doesn't have as horrible side effects as others-try talking with your husband's doctor also.
Hang in there, Sue
