I agree with Ry --- someone should be there for consultations, test reports, chemo and radiation treatments. BUT, it does not have to be you all the time. Get family and friends to take turns. When Lucie was doing radiation five days a week, we took a signup sheet to the church and people signed up to take her. I only went with her on days she was seeing the doctor for a consultation. It gave me a break and it allowed people to be with her one-on-one, which was good for her and good for them. We have been very fortunate with the amount of support we get, and the people are aware the caregiver needs care as well. Good luck. Don
