Coworkers & Caregivers

Cancer does not just affect the person diagnosed with the disease. Family, friends, co-workers, and especially primary caregivers, are touched by this life-changing illness in different and highly personal ways.

If you are a co-worker you might wonder about protocol. How can you help? What should you say? How will things change?

As a caregiver you often have less time to wonder. You may have already jumped in head-first, wearing multiple hats: advocate, nurturer, administrative assistant, coach.

Whatever role you assume, in the following section you will find resources and advice to help navigate your new terrain.
