Glioblastoma: Anyone else struggle with being a caretaker?

Hello,

While I can’t relate to the glioblastoma diagnosis as my tumor was and is a mengioma (benign) I know how unnerving my diagnosis is, I can’t imagine how he must feel. It’s not typically a great prognosis. I suggest counseling for both. Also you need and deserve a break. Do you friends/family or adult chit who can help? Does your insurance provide some help? You need to have some time for yourself whether it be lunch with a friend, staying with a friend or getting your nails done. You can’t pour from an empty vessel. Does your husband have a friend who can take him to lunch or bring him dinner to give you a break? There are some Facebook groups who you can get support and vent. Maybe church? Just thinking outside the box. You can private message me. I’m a shoulder to lean on. Where are you located I’m happy to go and give you a break if close.
Prayers for you & your hubby. Mindset is everything maybe a good book about some one else going through same diagnosis. 🙏🫶🏼

Thank you for the reply. Yeah he is for sure losing his way now. He did better the first couple years. I do have breaks as much as I can. Which is once in a while. It’s just a challenging situation. Thank you for the advice
