Hello from a caregiver in Sweden- English is my first language so finding you all here is a blessing. I hope I can give support here, as well as benefit from your own wisdom. Husband is scheduled to start treatment in a few days and we are worried, scared, hopeful and all emotions in-between, or course. He has malignant melanoma that has spread, after a very long period from 2008 on, where there were no signs of this, after multiple checkups.
I have a practical question for caregivers who accompany loved ones to treatment. I will have at least 2-3 hours, I'm told, where I'm going to be on my own in a waiting area. What do you do when you are waiting? I am a prodigious reader but it's hard to concentrate at the hospital, for some reason, so I'd love to have some other ideas for take-with-you entertainment that is easy to put down and then take back up again at the next visit. Thanks so much for your ideas!
