Have any of you gone through this.
I just wrote about it in the caregivers group.
My husband is having personality changes. He is sweet as can be one min the very argumenative the next. the hospice nurse said 75 % go through this when the cancer spreads to the brain.
I cope by making an excuse to leave the room, urgent phone call I just remembered I had to make or someone at the back door I have to see who it is, then stay away for 10-20 min. and usually he is better when I come back.
I don't know how to cope with this, trying to reason with him only makes it worse.
Sometimes I feel he has already left me and that's a stranger setting there in my husband's chair.

I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I know how painful it is. My mom passed in Sept. from cancer and she was moody to say the least. I think you are doing a great job and coping as best as you can. I would just let him be and continue to leave the room. The feeling that he has left already is normal. I hope I can help you get through this. God Bless you and your family.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
