@anything4him You are very welcome! You don’t mention your ages but if you are older with no family near by or too busy to rely on, I strongly urge you to consider engaging a Geriatric Care Manager or GCM for you and your husband…..and even if you’re not of a certain age, some GCMs will work with folks who need support caring for a seriously ill loved one. My husband and I have a GCM and she is there to help us locate resources, counsel us and to step into one of our shoes if one of us is unable to care for the other. You can locate a GCM near you at https://www.aginglifecare.org/Shared_Content/ALCA_Directory/ALCA_Find_an_Expert.aspx by distance and zip code. And if you would like to know what a GCM can do, watch the video on the homepage of our GCM’s agency. It is very informative! If you would like to discuss, just message me. https://www.peaceagingcare.com/

I've been the caretaker for my husband with esophageal cancer for the past 7+ years. When he had a recurrence last year, I found a small cleaning business to take care of that chore! I was tapped out and just wanted one thing off my plate. I ordered groceries online and just had to drive to the store and they loaded my groceries. Little things like that can make a huge difference.
