How are caregivers staying strong and healthy?

My husband of 40+years was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in Nov 23. Surgery in Dec 23. Chemo started Feb 24 and still on it. He’s improving and tolerating chemo well. He fractured his tibia 2 months back. Life is a round of tests, hospital visits, chemo. That is the new normal, but he’s still with me. Like you, I lift weights, go for walks and I look after myself bec I need to take care of him. My kids live nearby or with us (the younger ones) so that helps. I sought psychiatric help - doctor says that a low dosage will help me cope rather than wait till I crack. I believe in God and I look to Him for strength and I rant at Him on bad days. You are doing all the right things to stay strong and constant for your husband,

Thank you for your words of encouragement!

I have almost the exact same scenario! But my boys are grown and live elsewhere. It's a tough journey, but we are hangin in there! I feel the same as you do......our new normal too
