Caring for your caregiver when you have Neuropathy

I am in remission. I have SCLC and now CIPN. My husband is my caring angel. He held me as I vomited all day & night. Took me to my chemo & radiation. Made me copious amount of black cherry Jello (only thing I could swallow). He does almost all the laundry & cooks when I am in too much pain or too weak. We do bicker because he worries so much and I tell him I am able to do certain things. I haven't driven but I am going to start again this week. He truly is my angel and he makes me laugh all the time. We have been married 35 years and lived together a total of 47. Big love to all the caregivers.

Hi @oceanlady22, you may be interested in also following the Lung Cancer group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/lung-cancer/

Amen to that @oceanlady22! In the past few years I have had compassionate eye-opening appreciation for our nurses, CNA’s, other medical support, physical therapists, and of course our home caregivers/family. Of course doctors too, but I would have never have guessed that I would ever have needed the help and services of these hands on people! It takes special people to choose these careers - it’s a little harder for those who stumbled across their roles by chance. It sounds like we have both been given challenges in the medical arena, but have been blessed with being provided good life partners! Praying that your remission is permanent!
