My chemo nurses, Joy and Nancy, have some advice for those who are caring for a family member or a loved one who is battling cancer. They advise patience for the patient and knowing your role in their treatment plan. Whether it's joining them at a doctors appointment to serve as an extra set of ears or helping to care for them during chemotherapy, both caregiving and being cared for can be incredibly difficult.

Do you have any advice for caregivers of cancer patients? Let us know in the comment section below.
