Re: From Patient to Conqueror to Caregiver
Estelle,
What a wonderful friend you are!
I know as a 14 year caregiver for a husband with chronic leukemia I had the tendency to try and do everything, by myself. Make sure you maintain a good support system for yourself and incorporate self care. He still tries to delegate everything to me, lol, the rascal!
I wish your friend a smooth and side effect free treatment with a quick recovery.
