As I continue to read the replies that come in from my initial posting to this thread, I feel so much less alone and more and more supported every day. I have made some in roads to getting to talk with a social worker with a great organization called Cancer Family Care here in Cincinnati where we live. I am glad to know that I am not alone in my exhaustion at times, that I am doing the right things. I hear this not only in everyones support on this terrific website, but from the doctors and nurses that my wife and I see every day. Most of all my loving wife tells me how important I am to her and how much I am doing and how whole it makes her feel. I am honored to be her husband, her caregiver and her best friend as we travel this road together.
There is no way for anyone to prepare for this in life, you just have to keep on living the best way you know how. Its just very comforting to know that other people have felt this way too, and to hear of what helps them. I hope to be as supportive to others as others need a reassuring voice. I think this website is a wonderful resource. My deepest thanks and best wishes of health and love to you all.
Brandon.
