 Caregivers
If someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer, you may find yourself taking on new, unfamiliar responsibilities as you help them through treatment and recovery. Taking care of a person with cancer is an important, and sometimes difficult, job. In this section you'll find information and resources to make it easier.
 

 Coping as a Caregiver
If you are caring for a person with cancer, you must also take care of your own needs as well, so you can better help your loved one. Learn how to manage the emotions you and your family may be feeling, how to talk about the cancer experience, and how to know when you may need help coping.
 

 How to Provide Care
Learn more about what to expect as a cancer caregiver. Get practical advice for helping with common side effects of treatment, special nutrition needs of cancer patients, and finding professional agencies to help with caregiving tasks.
 

 Nearing the End of Life
When cancer treatment is no longer working, patients and their caregivers face difficult challenges. Learn how to prepare for this time and how to deal with the grief it brings.
 

 Connect with Other Caregivers
Just as there are millions of cancer survivors, there are millions of cancer caregivers. Connect with others facing similar issues. Find support as you swap suggestions and share stories.
