Thank you so much for your kind note. I'm sure i will be needing shoulders to lean on in this jpurney. Nice to vent here..God Bless
Hello @moopy1950 Nice to e-meet you here! I am sorry to hear of your husband's medical travails. Tough, tough, stuff for sure! I am Scott and I was my wife's caregiver for 14 years. Also for about 10 with my MIL who had dementia. I fully agree with your 'take' on medical care. Especially in my MIL's case the local doctors were unwilling to diagnose her disease and many precious months were lost as a result. It was only after seeing specialists that her care became world class and far better for her and the family.
With my wife we also had similar experiences. Once we had our neuro-oncologist with her we stuck with him for all 14 years at Mayo. It was a godsend.
Wishing you peace and strength!
