T:Now here's a thinkin question	Q:As you know im an in home care taker of my grandmother whom has dementia. I do this 24/7,  with only <professional_practitioner> appointments and <time_period> break a week. Anyhow,  I got an interesting scenero now,  and I can use all the tips. My cancer returned,  and I am on chemotherapy as of today. So how does a really sick hanging over the toilet person care for a person? Are there more programs where I can get more help? Sigh the joys of this. 	A:I'm sorry to hear that your cancer has come back :( I'm not sure what state you live in but here in <location> we have a program that we can call for just about anything and they will be able to point us in the right direction. It's called the <num> program. Maybe see if there is something similiar in your area?Does your Gma have insurance? Will they cover <professional_caregiver>?When I was caring for my Gma,  I had my husband,  son and daughter to help out. Sometimes even my mother in law would lend a hand. I also get sick a lot so it helped tremendously to have the extra hands. Is there anyone else in your family that can help out?


A:My mother and sister and father only help when they feel it is needed. My mother is the best one about it and she is the one that gives me the <time_period> break but she also works full time so its hard on her to be more there for me to help her. Maybe I should call the caseworker that is with that one program and see what she says. All I know is that I will need more help than my family and I can provide while I'm sicker as a horse. Yes,  I know the phrase is dog,  but I changed it to horse cuz last time I was on this chemotherapy,  I was in an ER <num> to <num> times a week getting iv fluids because of how dehydrated I get from all the vomiting and diaherea from this stupid chemo. After a <time_period> I will use the normal pattern but bring up and out blood instead. It's what happened last time. Its beyond me why the <professional_practitioner> put me on a drug that made me bleed internal before sigh


A:There should be Respite care available. im in <location> n did hv chemo n was sick as well looked after mom n then dad til he passed away just after momI believe RED CROSS is everywhere n they hv <professional_caregiver> that will come in as well and do things that need to be done such as dishes. laundry. meal prep ectI was a home <professional_caregiver> long before i was into nursingjust a thoughtblessings <name>
