Caring for a Loved One
Taking care of a loved one as she goes through the breast cancer journey can be a rewarding—and difficult—experience. Caregivers can become so focused on helping the patient that they lose sight of the care they need themselves. Because of that, it’s important to recognize that you can’t provide care for others if your own needs aren’t met.
In this section, you will learn about balancing caregiver responsibilities with caring for yourself.
