He has undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma and just finished up 25 rounds of radiation at Mayo Clinic. He has surgery on April 18, to remove the beast. It’s huge and is in his right bicep. I’m just feeling overwhelmed. I get that he doesn’t feel good.

I'm sorry that you all are going through all of this. I know how you feel as my wife and I also have health issues. I appreciate her a lot more now after being her caregiver. She has been my caregiver for the past ten years of my Lymphoma and skin cancer. Her ovarian cancer was much worse in terms of the Chemo and all the side effects.

after 25 rounds of radiation....food and drinks may not taste the same...in fact may taste lousy...its not you...
very hard to deal with all the changes without seeking outside help...cancer centers offer counseling , social services, etc...reach out and find out what is available to both of you...there may be a nurse coordinator for your husbands care, that can help , but you need to confide in her and show her what is going on...its not you, its not him, its the huge life change....please get outside help
