Sharing two new guides. The first resource is designed specifically for caregivers, and the second is for those approaching breast cancer surgery.
Our brand-new Cancer Caregiver Guide was created specifically with caregivers of cancer patients in mind. This guide will help you with many aspects of caregiving, from establishing a support system and organizing key documents to getting what you need out of doctor’s appointments and even how to care for yourself along the way.
“I saw my mom go through being a caregiver three different times in her life, and I know how burdensome it can be on your mental and physical health. The Cancer Caregiver Guide resonates with me as it offers practical tips on how to be a caregiver and information on how to take care of yourself as a caregiver.” – Paula
As one of the most frequent forms of breast cancer treatment, it can feel overwhelming and confusing when discussing or choosing the type of surgery that’s best. This eBook shares helpful terms, surgical options, and the latest information on breast reconstruction and other cosmetic options—with a special Q&A from Lillie Shockney.
“Your website and the eBook have been extremely helpful. My mother received her diagnosis 4 weeks ago. Her approach is more head in the sand, but I have a NEED TO KNOW approach to everything. Browsing the website and the eBook made me knowledgeable enough to understand what was said at her first oncology appointment and allowed me to ask intelligent questions. I’m also able to share information with her as she is ready to accept it. I am grateful. I am sure we will be using your resources a lot over the next few months.” – Sheilia
Not a breast cancer patient or caregiver? You can still make a difference by sharing these free resources with a patient, family, or caregiver you know. Whether you’re a breast cancer patient, caregiver, loved one, or someone who wants to learn more about breast health, we have resources that can help.
