Lung Cancer

Hello, my name is Pat and I am the caregiver to my husband who has 4th stage lung cancer. I have found that being a caregiver is more than just helping take care of him. Lets see, there is taking care of him, the house, pets, running all the earns and oh ah I can't forget about myself. He has been diagnose for one and a half years now. He just started his 3rd. round of chemo. I'm afraid he will not be able to handle it as well as he did the first couple of times. He tries so hard to keep positive and up beat but I can see the toll it is taken. He still is tiring to do most for him self,(he is proud that way). Since he has been told that he has cancer he has lost weight, and his strength and has become very, very weak. Even lifting a gallon of milk is alot. That is how weak he has gotten. And to top everything off, there is the cost of everything. One chemo treatment is in the thousands. Between co-pays and the things that his insurance won't cover we are going broke. I'm wondering how we're going to make it. I started this blog to vent with people who have been there. (Alot of people don't know or realize how ugly and expensive a decease cancer really is.)
