Hi All, New to the board, just joined this AM. My wife had a right Lobectomy in March after finding a Stage 1B tumor and was declared cancer free after surgery. The cancer returned with a vengeance in late August and she starts radiation and chemo this week. I guess all that's left now is to make her life more comfortable and pray for success in her treatment. Could anyone make a recommendation for a live-in-nurse organization in the Annapolis, MD area? Thanx for your response, Don |

So Sorry for your wife's illness. We started this journey that you are on, but stopped it. What we found to be helpful for regional help is to go theough the local Ametican Cancer Society and they should have a list of resources, but they camnot give you uneditted information, because they have to follow no conflict of interets policies in their recommendation. If you want the unedited lo down, I suggest you start attending support griups and they will say this company stole this and this comapny was great. Feel free to continue to come in heren but when getting information about local services your local support agencies are best. Also if you friend some spouses at her chemo sessions or the nurses. Docs are too policitically correct to get an pinion about the best companies.
Be ready to open your wallet. Insurance companie dint pay much. Expect about 5K a month.

Appreciate your thoughts. I know it will probably be expensive, but don't want her to have to go to a hospice until absolutely necessary.
So many people on this board seem to have been going though this a lot longer and have more understanding of what I'm going to face.
God Speed to all of you
