I'm sorry to hear of your T's illness! My thoughts are with you.
First, try to think positively. I know it's hard, but a lot can be said for positive thinking. Try sending your T mental "get well" vibes; sounds corny, I know, but it can help you feel as if you are doing something to help and either way it couldn't hurt your T.
I'm glad you have some support during this time through your pdoc.
I wish I had some concrete advice here, but just try to hang in there and believe that it will be okay. My former T was in a wheelchair due to a car accident she had when she was a teen, and I was constantly worrying that something would happen to her. From the beginning I was very aware that my T was human and fallible and could be hurt; I'm not sure if that was a good thing or not.
Try to take care of yourself during this time also; that could be one of the best things you can do for your T.
My thoughts to both of you......
