Comfort measures also extend to families and caregivers, who play a crucial role in the patient's journey. Support for families includes:
- Education and Training: Providing information about the disease, treatment options, and caregiving techniques. - Respite Care: Temporary relief for caregivers through professional services or volunteer programs. - Emotional Support: Counseling and support groups to help caregivers cope with the emotional burden of caring for a loved one with cancer. - Financial and Legal Assistance: Guidance on managing the financial and legal aspects of cancer care, including insurance, medical bills, and advance directives.
