Five points about communication that a cancer caregiver should knows


  1. Ask rather than assume what’s needed. It’ll make things easier for both of you.
  2. Offer to help with certain practical matters such as medical paperwork, but let them do things for themselves when they want to. Don’t make them more dependent than they need to be.
  3. Respect the patient’s choices about anticancer treatment, care, and who they want to see.
  4. Share feelings. Allow cancer patients to talk about their emotions without feeling judged. It’s important to share your feelings too. Don’t let your caregiver-patient role overtake your relationship.
  5. Listen cancer patients help to relieve their emotional distress   Image result for cancer caregiver
