Formas de hacer frente a las consecuencias del cuidado de otras personas

 


En esta sección, analizamos posibles medidas que podemos tomar para apoyarnos en las luchas que supone ser cuidador.

 

Tomarse un descanso/ Encontrar el "tiempo para mí"

 

Cuidar de alguien parece una ocupación a tiempo completo, pero no tiene por qué serlo. Cuidar de uno mismo nos prepara para desempeñar mejor nuestro papel.

El apoyo y el cuidador

 


Cuidando a un cuidador

Cuando llegan los informes de las pruebas y la creciente expectación confirma los peores temores con un diagnóstico de cáncer, sin duda a quien más afecta es al individuo. Sin embargo, sus ondas son de gran alcance; lo compartimos con nuestros padres, familiares, parejas, hijos o amigos, y casi cualquier persona en la que podamos confiar en busca de apoyo. 

 

HPV transmission risk

This is regarding french kissing for about 5 min.

The woman had radiation for cervical cancer at 20, and a hysterectomy for reoccurance, recently at 35.
She said the cancer tested positive for all 13 high risk strains. The 15 year reoccurance tells me that she never cleared the virus. I have read that approximately 33% of women with cervical hpv, also have it orally.

I am now panicked that the chances of contracting oral hpv that may lead to head and neck cancer are astronomically high for me. My great grandmother died of throat cancer.

ASCO/ESMO 2020 - KEYNOTE 048 Study Update, What Have We Learned?

Here's a new head and neck cancer video.  Not only can't I say enough about how much I appreciate learning about new findings but they speak about the fact that they have different approaches to the same case description.  Just knowing that lets me know I need to discuss my goals and options for treatment when there isn't a clear direction. 

I joined GRACE as a caregiver for my husband who had a Pancoast tumor, NSCLC stage III in 2009. He had curative chemo/rads then it was believed he had a recurrence in the spine/oligometastasis that was radiated. He's 10 years out from treatment.
