So sad: Husband has glioma and I feel he is fading away

He has only had one week of treatments. He has 5 more weeks daily. Yes he was mixing up words before. Maybe he isn’t getting worse. Maybe I am weary. One and half hour drive five days a week and I can’t leave him alone.

@rosez I’m so sorry you’re in this difficult situation and having to drive a long way everyday, no wonder you are weary. Have you talked with the hospital or clinic social workers? They might have some ideas about short term rentals. It might be a lot easier on you. I worry about your having to drive so much

Hello @rosez Nice to e-meet you here on Mayo Connect. I am sorry to read of your husband's health issues. I am indianascott and I was my wife's caregiver during her war with brain cancer.
I noted you said you are weary. Not surprising for a caregiver! It is a tough and demanding road and one which indeed makes all of us weary for sure! I imagine it is tough for you during his treatment regimen especially with that drive!
My wife's condition required I be with her constantly too. If I can offer any suggestions or tips let me know.
Wishing you the best and hoping it is sunny wherever you are!
