Caregiver for husband — just tired

My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 duodenal cancer metastasized to the liver in Nov 2016. He went through 10 fol fox chemo treatments and then 5 Keytruda treatments - the last one was Nov. 7. As od last week he has been under the care of Hospice. They have been great. I am ready for him to have some peace and pain free days and he seems to be getting that. It has been such a long journey and I am anxious about how it will end. Anyone going through this emotion as a caregiver?

    Hello LRS,

    You and your husband has been through a wringer and its ok he is in hospice and in less pain. Now you can just be his wife. 

    Being anxious about what is to come is so understandable. If you have family reach out to them and have a friend at hand. Whichever is best for you both.
