Hi, 

My husband has stage 4 lung cancer and is having immunotherapy as part of palliative care. the treatment and health care workers have all been wonderful and supportive. I am in my 60.s and am disabled and hoping to keep my husband at home . We have nurses in and out and someone from Marie Curie came and sat with him last week so i could have some time to myself- I used it to sleep. I am shattered and my own health isnt great. i can handle my autoimmune pain when i have slept ok but I feel i haven't slept in 4 months. I am comfort eating and comfort buying! I feel I have aged 20 years in this year alone. I hit a wall tonight and felt dizzy and ill with stress. I am hearing impaired and never really went out without my husband . you never really got one of us without the other. 

I need to see this thru. I live rurally and love it and know that with better weather i can sit in my garden myself and relax  and also get him into garden too. But tonight i just feel worn out with appointments, medicines , scans, therapies and so many people ( albeit lovely people ) in and out of the house. I feel bad saying that as I feel he is getting good treatment and that doesn't always seem the case for folk on here. I know it is just palliative care but i want to be my best every day for him and enjoy time . have others experienced this burn out?

Thank you.
