Synopsis

Thanks to advances in medical science, people with chronic illnesses like cancer are living longer than ever before. Most often the responsibility for caregiving is placed with loved ones. This helpful guide responds to the changing needs and challenges faced by the family caregiver, and offers support through the myriad situations the caregiver may face, from physical and emotional conditions, to dealing with health care providers and insurance carriers, to taking care of their own needs along with those of the person with cancer.
