Caregiver isn't the right word.... I know you are out there.... The person who is a friend or a family member of a cancer patient/survivor, but you weren't their caregiver. They had a mom, dad, sibling, spouse or someone who claimed that role.... not that you had time for that role anyway..
This website and message board is for you too... In order to help the young adult cancer survivor, we need to educate and support everyone that is in the young adults life.... This includes you...
Do you have anything that you are unsure of?? Maybe a question that your afraid to ask??? You don't want your friend/family member to take it the wrong way. At the same time, you can't help support them if you don't know what they need...
We work everyday with cancer patients and survivors, however when it hits close to home it's often difficult to react in the "appropriate manner". What is right or wrong??
Anyone have any ideas?? I'd like to hear from everyone, get opinions from all sides... |

| I lost my grandfather to cancer nearly 13 years ago. My Uncle has also been in remission for quite a few years. Its a hard thing to deal with. |
