I'm very sorry for your wife and you...she's too young. My husband has GBM IV. I understand how you feel...and he is still able to work but totally exhausted. I admire that quality in him. The cancer patients are battling for their life but we are also on the road with them. We try to give our loved ones all the emotional support and leave little for ourselves. You are supporting your wife and have nothing to feel guilty about needing some time for yourself. During radiation I had to leave two nights because I felt if I didn't get a break I wasn't going to be any support the next day, I slept in the car under the carport! All of our lives are turned upside down. I was at the c-store yesterday and a wife of a lung cancer victim (we were at radiation together) was buying a 6 pack of beer for herself at 9:00 in the morning. She is a business woman and not a usual drinker. Her husband is very depressed, for good reason, but that day she was exhausted. We all pray, we all give to our loved ones but you have to take care of you too. We all wish that our loved ones weren't going through this and we know they can't "get away from it". Our small town offers no cancer support group. This has become my support group.
