hello, my wife has brain cancer for the 2nd time. looking for input ...

Hello, my wife was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2001, underwent surgery, chemo, radiation. She survived and has lived a pretty normal life until a year ago. She started having trouble with her right arm and leg. Therapy wasnt working so her doc sent her for an MRI. The cancer was back with a vengance. She started out taking tremadar but it didnt help, she is now on E7080 a clinical trial med. She has lost her ability to do anything on her own. Can only use her left hand to work the remote for the tv, feed herself and grab a drink. She cant talk other than gestures with her hand and make a few grunts for yes and no. I am pretty much her 24/7 care taker. Give her baths, help her go potty. Pretty much everything. I have help here to assist with our daughter and things around the house. I used to drive an 18 wheeler but hired a driver to drive our truck so i could stay home to take care of her. At first it wasnt too bad, but here recently she has gotten worse and worse. We are thinking of putting her in a nursing home. I just dont know which direction to turn. what to do. Not many peopleto talk to about it. So I found this group thingy. Maybe I can get some input from someone who has been thru this. Or maybe I cant give some in return to anyone thats fixing to go thru this.
