Hi everyone! I’m Tracy. I’m 58 yo and am the caregiver wife for my husband who has stage 4 brain cancer (same thing as John McCain and Ted Kennedy). It has been 7 months now since diagnosis. I was struggling with 25-30 pounds overweight before this-now even though I’m at the same-ish weight-I haven’t eaten as well or exercised - also added a bit more alcohol to the diet. Anyway, I’m hoping I will find some friends and support from this group and I hope that I can give that back! Thanks for listening! Have a blessed day!

Wow!!! You are in a stressful time of life! Your job as a caregiver is hard. The roll of wife is strained. Personal care is not a top priority! First sending y'all both strength and love!! Second....forgive yourself now for lack of focus on your diet and exercise!! Also set your goals at a pace you can manage. Try not to put to much pressure on yourself. Happy to be here for support!! I have walked through cancer with my cousin, papa, and my aunt!!! It's a hard road!!! Please feel free to lean on me!!!0
