Perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of cancer is care giving. Attention and thanks are given to caregivers; however, their needs throughout the journey are not always understood or met. These people are often the main decision makers when a patient becomes too ill to decide for him or herself the proper plan of action for treatment. They are expected to provide concrete care-giving, meet financial and social costs, maintain stability in the patient’s life while simultaneously maintaining stability in their own life, and acclimate to the constant changes that arise. All of these responsibilities accumulate over time, placing physical as well as emotional burdens on them that soon interfere with their day-to-day lives. There are many options as to how to deal with these burdens. Some of the most common of these problems are depression and sleeplessness and cannot be resolved by simply time alone. A comprehensive support system, consisting of therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists and various other ways of physically expressing one’s pent-up feelings, for caregivers and family members is desperately needed if they intend to be able to continue taking care of themselves and the patient.
