[ LIVING WITH LYMPHOMA ]
CAREGIVER PERSPECTIVES
MANAGING THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF CARING FOR A LOVED ONE A lymphoma diagnosis not only affects the patient; it affects their caregivers too. Caregivers are relatives, friends, partners or anyone who has a significant relationship with the patient and is an essential extension to the patient’s healthcare team. While being a caregiver can often be a rewarding experience, it can also be a very challenging one. Responsibilities of caregivers may vary but can range anywhere from attending doctor visits, keeping track of medication, providing transportation to treatments, assisting with childcare responsibilities and providing emotional support. While it seems counterintuitive, often a diagnosis of cancer is harder on the caregiver than it is on the patient itself. PULSE | FALL EDITION 2021
