Help Wanted: Caregiver, A Guide to Helping Your Loved One Cope With Serious illness

Nearly 12 million Americans are living after a cancer diagnosis. Tests and treatments become the focus following diagnosis. But as a patient completes treatment and symbolically "rings the bell" to mark the end of this phase, the question "Now what?" often looms large. The structure and attention provided by ongoing visits to the clinic or hospital ceases, and survivors often are left feeling lost. This book helps readers along the cancer journey, exploring the most common challenges that confront people following cancer diagnosis and treatment. Featuring real-world vignettes and straight talk from an experienced cancer nurse and counselor, this book gives clarity and understanding to what many survivors encounter along the path to healing.
