in Breast Cancer #1

I have been taking care of my wife with stage 4 breast cancer the last 4 years. Is there such a thing as chemo brain. She can be nice to everyone but me. Been married 41 years.
anything I do is wrong and we argue often or I just listen to it.
am I doing something wrong? Any comments/suggestions welcome.

    sometimes our hormones run wild and sometimes we feel may not be as pleasing to our spouses anymore such as not being able to do all the things we used to do with you and for you really hurts our self esteem because we are angry that we are very sick . She really loves you and truly appreciate you and all you do it’s just right now she has no control over her feelings. Keep doing what you are doing for her I know it’s hard . I took care of my dad with his cancer and he was very very mean to me and I didn’t understand why at that time but now three years later I have cancer and I realize now how my emotions is all over the place with lots of sociological distress

    she has it in the right breast which she has gone to a wound care place but has been released from there. It is in her bones as well but blood work today to see if she can get chemo tomorrow. Her anc number was low last week so she couldn't get chemo.
    verzenio worked for 2 years the piqray for about a year and she is on a new one now.
    she won't let me or my son go to any appointments with her and I ask her what's going on she gets mad.
    she says she doesn't want us to worry so she stays pretty quiet about status.
    very frustrating.
    I just figure I've done it this long I can keep going as long as I need to.
    thanks for any thoughts or input.
