When a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, those who surround him or her often find themselves in a most challenging role….the caregiver. The reality for those journeying with their loved one with cancer is the need to balance several roles as spouse, parent, child, sibling, on one hand, and caregiver on the other. Navigating the emotional, physical and spiritual toll caregiving can bring into a family’s life is an important piece of the puzzle for both the caregiver, as well as, for the patient.

The Caregiver Support Group, provided by Susan Stucco, MA-PHC, MA-C, Chaplain, will be held in person at the David C. Pratt Cancer Center on the first Tuesday of the month.
