More than 15 million adults are living with cancer in the United States today. For each patient, a caregiver is sharing in the cancer journey.
Caring for a cancer patient is an important job that plays a fundamental role in that patient’s recovery. Being a caregiver comes with its own set of challenges. It’s a role for which most people feel unprepared. It takes time and understanding to adjust to the changes.
While worrying about their loved one’s health, caregivers are likely trying to balance the demands of their new responsibility with their obligations, such as family and work.
