Hello everyone.My name is dave.I am caregiver to my wife Doreen.
She was diagnosed with Colon cancer april 2010.She had surgery may 2010.Been on chemo since Aug 2010.Since then It has spread to her liver and bones.She left chemo on 09/09/10 and I am the primary caregiver. I am 73 yo.my wif celebrated her 69th on 08/31/10 and our 52nd anniversary on 09/03/10. We live alone on the edge of the Pine Barrens at the NJ shore. It has only been less than a week on hospice and I can't see where people get the strenth to do this for years(even tho I hope to)She is under medication and is out of it and comfortable most of the time.Sorry have to go. Thanks for listening. dave

Good morning and welcome, Dave.

I am sorry you find yourself here but you are in the company of some very nice people.

I will say prayers today for you and for your wife.

Gentle hugs to both of you during this difficult time.
