Caregiver Trouble
Right now I feel okay. My white blood cell count is very high because I'm on Neupogin. All my nurses and doctors say I should go out and enjoy life now while I can. Problem is everytime I try he finds some "risk" in what I want to do. Like eating out is too risky because the food has fresh herbs and spices in it. I know I have to be carefull, and I am, but enough is enough. I hate arguing with him whenever I try and have a little hapiness.
So my question is, how do you deal with an overprotective caregiver? I always end up giving in to him because he makes me cry and ruins my mood to go out anyways. I only have a few weeks left to do anything please help me.

Being a Dad and Grandfather, his reactions are understanable. Try to talk to him about your feelings and try to compromise. Cancer is a lot about compromises. Join us in the Chat room if you would like. It is scary and confusing to begin with, but they can provide some support, although we are just passing time. Chat may seem cliquish at first, but many of us really do care about others and try to hellp.0

Sounds like your Dad is scared, and afraid something will happen to you. As the person before me said. Talk to him, make him listen to your feelings, and what you want to do. You have to let him know that you hear his concerns. But afterall it is YOUR life. And your glad he is there to help you...JohnJ said:Being a Dad and Grandfather, his reactions are understanable.
