Summary:
Family
caregivers
are the unsung heroes of the life-saving drama that's triggered by a
cancer
diagnosis. Nearly three quarters of American households will find themselves caring for a
cancer
patient at one point in their lives. This book is the first to capture their thoughts, feelings, and insights on a large scale. Practical lessons drawn from
caregivers
' experiences are intermingled with their own words to forge a compelling narrative intended to help both patients and their family
caregivers
to understand and cope with the full range of issues they should anticipate as they fight the battle of their lives.
