LIFTING YOU BOTH UP IN PRAYER
What a tough road this has been for you both. You must be exhausted trying to be all and do all. And Tina has been through so much, but she's obviously a very strong woman, and with a husband like you, she'll get through this.
Continuing my heartfelt prayers for both, and your children, too.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post here. I know this experience has been very hard on you both and your family, and I can only imagine how tired you must be. Sending lots of prayers your way that Tina is released soon.
Take care,

Thank you all so much.
No mater how tied I am how much I have to do or how much anxiety I have I’m still not going through or having anywhere near the anxiety, feelings or pain that Tina or any of you ladies here have been or are dealing with with this monster. I’m doing the easy part loving, caring, supporting and making my wife as comfortable as I can through this ordeal. And not knowing first hand what Tina and you ladies are going through makes me feel guilty that you praise me and send prayers my way as I’m just doing a natural thing in my mind. You ladies need all that praise and prayers much more than I do but thank you for it. Hope you all have a very nice weekend.
Prayer to you all

do not feel guilty. The role of a caretaker is difficult. My mom is 88 and although she is is fairly good health, there are times when I have to care for her. It is hard. When she has been in the hospital I am there the whole day and when I come home, I am exhausted. Part of the exhaustion is the stress of her being ill and the fact that she has told me in the past that I am the parent now. She wants someone to look after her. I have no idea how hard it must be for you to care for Tina. We are on the other side of the disease.
During my treatment I had days where I was overcome with guilt because my cancer was causing so much stress and heartache to the people I love. I hated being a burden although no one ever made me feel that way.
So I guess we all deal with what we have to deal with. Bottom line is most of us are blessed to have people in our lives who will care for us and we will gladly reciprocate.

Hang in there Dave. It is exhausting to be the caregiver too. Don't sell yourself short. You have to be strong and set your own feelings about this disease and its affect aside to show Tina you are strong. This is not easy. I've seen my husband do this and some days he is exhausted from it all. So hang in there and take care of yourself too. Kim0 -
You are amazing
You need to take care of yourself so you can be there for Tina. I think it is easier to be the patient rather than the caregiver. We look forward to your updates but especially because it usually means it is not too crazy for you and Tina is doing better.
