Helping you along

Not everyone has someone in their life that they would identify as their caregiver. You might have family and/or friends support you and attend appointments with you, or you might feel like you are navigating this on your own. Know that whether you have a caregiver or not, you do have support throughout your cancer journey. A plethora of people will work to lighten your load and support you through the challenges that come with cancer. Let your doctors and nurses take care of your physical being. Let social workers or counselors and patient navigators help you find the resources that best fit you while attending to your emotional concerns, counseling and crisis management.
