title: Caring for the caregiver.
abstract: Caring for the Caregiver is information for persons helping to care for people with cancer. The emphasis is on what caregivers can do to help themselves at this stressful time. Topics included are: Who Is a Caregiver, Your Feelings, Asking For Help, Caring for Yourself, Going With Your Loved One to Medical Visits, Talking With Others, Remember, Other Resources for Caregivers. The information is written on a basic level and it is very suitable for health professionals to share with persons helping to care for family members or friends who have cancer. The National Cancer Institute posted this information on its website last June 29.
