I am doing OK. I am 100% responsible for everything now. I am Uber driver,secretary, cook/housekeeper,medicl dispensary ,you name ti I do it. Tina is doing best that can be expected. Not sure where we stand with the cancer. She was cancer free after the operation and on a mantanance drug. The last picturte/tests show the cancer is back. The last Dr appointment is when we found this out. The Dr's body language,tone of voice and demeanor did not have a positive enthusiasm in beating this as other appointments. This was the first time the option of no treatment with medical treatment for end of life enjoyment was offered. This is also the first time she was ask about her health directory(that thing that makes me power of attorney and health care representative if she is unable to call her own shots) Tina is still rundown from the first kemo then operation,then second kemo then the mantance drug. She is going to start a 3rd kemo in about a week. The is I really do not know where we stand with the cancer. I know it is aggressive. I knew it had fairly good survivable percentages with kemo and operation, but no idea about anything with it returning. She is calling the shots 100%. It is her live and health. I am just giving support to all her dicisions. Looks like it is gona be a ruff road ahead. Onebentarrow

I feel so bad for you. Last Thursday my daughter turned 23. Friday was the 4 anniversary of my wife's death. My Grandaughter has her first birthday in a month. So I have the task of helping raise alone. Cancer sucks. You two are in my prayers. Steve

My only advice is to ask if immunotherapy would be a viable option. It may give you quality time. I feel for you and will be praying for the both of you. As stated before cancer sucks. Good luck, when you have time drop us a line. You are being a good husband by taking on all that work. My dad did the same for my mom.

Prayers of strength and peace for you both.
I've been in your shoes. If you haven't already, get prepared to file for her disability. Transfer anything and everything that you own jointly into your name as soon as the disability is approved. If denied disability, get everything transferred anyway and appeal the disability denial. It takes a minumum of 6 months to get on social security disability even with a terminal cancer diagnosis. Write down every login id and password for every account that you can think of online. Move re-occuring bills to autopay if they aren't already to take some pressure off of you trying to remember payment due dates.
Stay strong, my friend.
