Who Cares?

Everyone diagnosed with cancer relies on someone for both physical and emotional support.  Often the role of the caregiver is complex:  caregivers play key roles in understanding the treatment benefits, the schedule, and the side effects.  But they can have serious feelings and concerns of their own.  Explore the role of the caregiver with staff at RiverBend and learn tips to take care of yourself.
