Practical Steps You Can Take To Help

Let’s face it. You can’t do everything. There are, however, practical ways you can help your loved one throughout treatment, including: 

Assisting With Your Loved One’s Treatment

• Attend all appointments, especially the first few
• Tap into available resources
• Learn how to provide physical care
• Meet with TCI’s Care Navigators to learn about the resources available to you and your loved one
• Focus on the small things you can do so you don’t get overwhelmed

Provide Emotional Support

• Listen
• Discover what works
• Support your loved one’s decisions
• Be an advocate
• Encourage your loved one to join a support group, and/or join one yourself
• Offer support after treatment is over
