What I would like is someone to come over and cook or clean or sit with him if he wants. I have always been taking care of myself with no help from family or friends. My husband and I have been through trials and tribulations with zero help. 4 moves, car accidents, surgeries, job losses.

This is the first time I ever felt like I wanted to be comforted by someone and unfortunately the person I want it from is my T.
If he can't do it -- have you considered a cancer caregivers support group for yourself? How about a home health aide to come cook and clean and sit with your husband. Even if you all have to pay out of pocket because your insurance won't consider it "necessary". Sounds to me like it kind of is but, oh, well.

I paid out of pocket for sitters the last few days of my husband's life here at home, in hospice, so I could get some other things done, and sleep. They were great. Very worth it.
