I am the caregiver for my husband who has Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma. It’s been a tough couple of years - in and out of hospital, multiple changes in treatments, insurance issues, etc. I manage our entire household alone as well as all his medical needs. What I’m pleading for is acknowledgement that, as welcome as family and friends visiting may be to the inflicted person, they are not necessarily welcome to the caregiver. After all that we do, having to be a gracious hostess to those who want to see our loved ones, plop themselves down for a few hours in our home, then leave feeling good about themselves that they’ve visited, can be just one more task for us. I know I sound grumpy but hope that venting on this site is safe. Thanks for listening!
