When Caregivers were asked what they wish someone had told them when they were starting out these were the top five answers.
-
Encourage your loved one to seek a second opinion at a major cancer center that deals with a high volume of bladder cancer. Read More
-
Go to appointments with them carrying a list of questions and paper and pen to take notes.
-
Don’t worry about knowing what to say; many times all you have to do is listen.
-
Take care of yourself! Having cancer makes your loved one the center of the action and often times the caregiver has to handle a heavy burden, stress, lack of sleep, worry and overwork can result. Try to make time for yourself, eat right, get enough sleep and exercising are very important.
-
You are not alone. There are an estimated 1/2 million bladder cancer survivors in the USA alone and an untold number of caregivers. This bladder cancer community is free and open to all to share support and gather information.
