18 days agoBeing a caregiver during this challenging time shows incredible dedication and love. Cachexia can be overwhelming to witness, but there are supportive care options that may help with comfort and quality of life - it's worth discussing with the oncology team what resources and interventions might be available. This community understands the weight of what you're both going through, and many here have navigated similar caregiving journeys.
