Life Is a Country Song

Some days change you forever, not gradually, but all at once. 

When you're dealing with cancer, you'll encounter many days like that. In this episode of I Saved You. Now, Do the Dishes, I discuss a few tough days for my husband and me. 

As my husband lay still inside a PET scan machine, which would light up the cancer cells in his body, I was across town on the floor of the vet's office, putting our beloved dog to sleep. Two rooms. Impossible grief in both. 

I discuss the impossible weight of grief we endured while still having to continue searching for hope, laying our dog to rest, and my first taste of advocacy to ensure my husband started treatment as quickly as possible. 

I offer caregiving and advocacy tips to support you and your loved ones along your journey. I pass along a tip a surgeon told us when we first started Gavin's cancer treatment plan.  

This episode touches on love, loss, and the way life sometimes demands more from us than we think we can give. And yet, caregivers have to continue giving.
