Hi onos
It does sound like your poor husband as been through such a lot and I know on here we all recognize the impact this has as we watch our loved ones going through so much.
I hope you manage to find some time to help you recharge, I know I had to learn how to look after myself when my wife was really ill - but it took me getting some help too.
<<hugs>>
