Coping with the Emotional Toll of Supporting a Loved One with Breast Cancer

As a caregiver, I found that setting boundaries was crucial ,It meant saying no to non-essential commitments and being honest about what I could handle. It's not selfish; it's necessary

My mother and I started attending painting classes together during my treatment.

My sister's diagnosis hit us hard. What helped me cope was diving into research and becoming her advocate. Understanding the treatment options, side effects, and how to manage them

Start thinking in smaller time increments. Think about what can be done to make today a tiny bit better. There is actually very little that you can do about tomorrow ir next week or next year, but you probably have a fair amount of influence about today. So unless it is a treatment day, forget about cancer today.
