I can tell this touched a nerve. A lot of us on DU are dealing with this.

Have you talked with your husband's physicians? Chemo can have side effects.

A ray of hope: my mother in law is 90 and sharp as a tack. Based on your posts here I think you are too! Plenty of people are living healthy lives into their 90s and beyond.

Be well and prosper, friend.
