Interested in how other caregivers survive

I am caregiver for my wife over six months. She is diagnosed with breast cancer that spread to her spine. Now going through treatment. Besides dealing with care for incontinence , also is challenging dealing daily with her condition and not able to attend appointments sometimes because of her anxiety and strength. Any inputs are appreciated.

@guate I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. And missing appointments must really be difficult. Have you thought about talking with the doctor about having virtual appointments? Your wife wouldn't have to move anywhere but you’d still have the appointment. Just ask the office where she sees her doctor.
Do you have anyone who helps you? Or a way to get out of the house occasionally? Your health is so important!
Have you found any caregiver support groups in your area?
Let me know if you think the idea of virtual appointments could work!
