Behind every patient is a family, a story, and a community. No one should face cancer alone or in the dark. Knowledge is power. Together, we can make the cancer journey less lonely.
Caregiver Corner
Caring for someone with cancer can be both rewarding and challenging. As a caregiver, you play a vital role in supporting your loved one’s physical, emotional, and practical needs. This might include helping with daily activities, managing medications, attending doctor’s appointments, and offering comfort and encouragement.
It’s important to remember that caregiving can be stressful. You may feel tired, worried, or overwhelmed at times. Taking care of yourself is just as important as caring for the patient. Make sure you eat well, get enough rest, and take breaks when you can. Talking to friends, family, or support groups can also help you manage your emotions and avoid burnout.
