It is often said we cannot control the twists and turns life brings us, but we can control how we react to them. Today, John and Fran speak with someone who has experienced cancer, both as a patient and as a caregiver. Michael had been caring for his wife with chronic illness for years when he received his own cancer diagnosis. Today, thankfully, Michael is in remission and serves as a mentor to other patients traveling the same path he did. He also is an an active supporter and leader of a support group for family caregivers.
There is a path forward for all caregivers, and utilizing your lived experience can be a valuable gift to others going through it.
