How to Support a Partner - Caring for the Caregiver

How to Support a Partner - Caring for the Caregiver is an article published 1/6/23 and is remains an important read.

I joined GRACE as a caregiver for my husband who had a Pancoast tumor, NSCLC stage III in 2009. He had curative chemo/rads then it was believed he had a recurrence in the spine/oligometastasis that was radiated. He's 10 years out from treatment.

Jim's caregiver story

Hi everyone,

 

I am Jim Celebucki, a member of the GRACE Community Outreach Team. I first became involved with GRACE in the Spring of 2008. My wife Liz had developed a cough. At first, we didn't think too much of it, as a couple of other members of her family had recently suffered from bouts with a cough and cold. But as time passed, and her cough grew worse, we decided it was time to see her primary care physician. That led to a quick succession of tests and procedures which culminated in her lung cancer diagnosis in July, 2008.

 

I discovered GRACE when my wife was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2008. After finding so much authoritative information here, I became a forum moderator and now serve as part of the GRACE Community Outreach Team.
