Many people say that when someone they love develops cancer, they would like to know how to help. Yet with earlier discharges from hospitals now, many people find they don't know how to help. This program has been designed by professionals and former caregivers to teach you some skills that will make you a more effective caregiver. This course is divided into 3 sections. There are many kinds of caregivers.
Some patients are fortunate to have many caregivers, often in the family.
Others have caregivers who live long distances away. Thus, there are many different roles and responsibilities depending on your situation. Personally, you may have to re-arrange your own life, instead of adding this new stress to an already busy life. The rewards can be unforeseen and far reaching. Likewise, the stress on the patient and family can seem unbearable at times.
