I wish her the best, my advice…..start building her support group now, don’t be ashamed to throw that “C word” sometimes you just have to. Attitude is the next thing, we’re all entitled to go thru that poor me stage and God why me!!! I was always taught not to ask why, so I haven’t, and I have since figured it out on my own. You quickly need to pick yourself up from the bootstraps and decide who’s gonna win this. I strongly believe these are the 3 biggest things in getting you thru. Luckily it was a shorter road for me. She’ll be fine if she can just stay strong and keep a great attitude.

One tool we found very useful in building our support team was Caring Bridge. Most of those who have shown desire to support my wife follow our Caring Bridge daily.

As caregiver to my wife I can say it is nice to have backup caregivers to provide respite care when needed. Sometimes cancer seems to be harder on the caregivers than on the victims. We all need a break once in a while.
