Help for the Caregiver

For the caregiver of a mesothelioma patient, life will change drastically. This person will not only work tirelessly to physically tend to the mesothelioma sufferer, but will also be involved in numerous decisions about this person and their disease. And when the caregiver is no longer able to function in that role, he or she will need to make choices as to hospice care and other alternatives. It's a stressful role, but assistance is available from the patient's healthcare team as well as through counselors and support groups made up of persons playing a similar role in life.
