Claudia, I'm new here and haven't posted very much compared to others. Your post is so heart wrenching and has touched me deeply. I know other caregivers on the forum are shedding tears over what is happening to you and your husband. Do the doctors' think this treatment will give him more time and a remission? What are the actual odds of this working? I don't know what my husband would do under these circumstances, wanting to do everything possible, but only if there is a good chance of survival.
Can you get him to your cabin? To look over the Allegheny river from a home he built out of love with his God given talent seems like it would be so comforting. Even with a big family, the caregiver is still alone with the worry, love and responsibility to get everything done and keep it together for our loved one. Please keep posting and let it all out. You are making plenty of sense and I, too, would be crying on the inside and out from the hurt, frustration, exhaustion and sadness... Geri
