The plethora of appointments, travel into the city, traffic jams, appointment delays, hours of sitting in medical facilities, fear, anger, mental gymnastics, anxiety all have become daily life for us. I sometimes mourn our lives prior to his diagnosis. #CancerBS #CancerCaregiver #PsychoOncology

The mental fatigue & feeling so alone in this journey are no freakin joke! The weight of going into a second stem cell transplant is overwhelming, & that’s just how I feel. My poor son, I’ll never know his terror. But I’ll be by his side for all this crap. #CancerCaregiver #CancerCaregivers #Oncosky

Darn it! Thought we’d make it through this cycle without Afib issue. Not the case. He had issues on last day of infusion, so they kept him an extra day, to monitor. Home now so YIPPEE! The highs & lows can come at any time. #oncosky #lymphoma #cancerbs #cancersucks #cancercaregiver #cancercaregivers

Cycle 2 EPOCH for my son. 4 day admission. Hoping for no Afib this time around. This kid is a Warrior for sure. His strength amazes me. #CancerCaregiver #CancerCaregivers #Cansky #CancerBS #CancerWarrior #Hope #GuardianAngel

Wanted to share this resource for Cancer Caregiver’s support groups. I find them to be a big help and others going through what we are going through JUST GET IT! See if one works for you. #CancerCaregiver #CancerCaregivers #Cansky #CancerSucks #psychocancer cancerpathways.org/programs/sup...

Getting ready to join a New Cancer Caregiver support group tonight! I’m stoked yet guarded. Sometimes they are not what I expect or need, but I have found a few that were amazing. Sadly one of them sets a limit on sessions then you are not allowed back!?!!! #CancerBS #CancerCaregiver #PsychoOncology

So, 2 weeks after first cycle of EPOCH chemo my son’s hair is now falling out. Shaving his head makes this all so freakin real again. Ugh. ALL the feelings just come rushing in. #CancerCaregiver #CancerCaregivers #CancerBS #Oncosky #Cansky

Hope, I call out to her yet she does not reply. I find that the only one who will save me is ME. Please learn what helps you get through you difficult days. For me it is hypnosis, meditation, sound therapy & my Live Zoom support groups!!! #CancerCaregiver #CancerCaregivers #BeKindtoYourself #Cansky

Working through the darkness & terrors of caring for a loved one with cancer is an absolutely draining ordeal. I just seem to be sucked into the dark abyss from time and find it difficult to claw my way back out. I do it though, as we all do, but damn this sucks! #cansky #oncosky #cancersucks

Have you used ChatGPT in this way? I have and it blew me away.

Not sure if this works for all of us but I'm trying to pattern my thoughts into being the catalyst for peace & calm in my life. Cancer caregivers are deal with all kinds of difficult crap each & every day! See if it works for you. #Caregiver #Caregivers #CancerCareGiver #CancerCareGivers #SelfCare

I took me several years into my Cancer Caregiving journey, before I sought out things to do to ease my stress, fear & anxiety. Don't wait! I have found coping skills that have given me the grounding & peaceful support I needed to reset & move forward in a calmer way. #CancerCaregiver #SelfCare #Zen

Cancer Caregivers and groups are niche & should not be placed under a “general” umbrella of care giving. This community is amazing, always willing to lift others up. It’s not a competition, rather a journey of common experiences to share with others in hopes of helping them through their journey.

Here is a great resource for cancer caregiver support groups! Please join one if you are caring for a loved one with cancer. This community just gets it!!! #cancercaregiver #cancercaregivers #cancercaregiversupport #cancersky #cansky cancerlifeline.org/services/sup...
