Hi Crawdad, How is your wife doing? How are you doing? You may be too busy to answer those questions right now. Just know that I'm thinking of you and your family.

Oh, my word @crawdad you have your mind, heart, and arms full. As a lung cancer survivor myself, having had chemo and radiation I can only tell you what helped me. Be honest, always! If she is uncomfortable she means it and ask her what she thinks would help. Let her eat what she wants, no arguments!
I don't know how old your grandchildren are but see if their school has any recommendations.
What is her mobility like? Is she active at all? Has anyone mentioned palliative care or hospice?
