There are multiple ways in which family members can support a cancer patient:
1. Emotional Support: Offering a listening ear, being present, and providing encouragement can significantly boost the patient’s morale. 2. Practical Assistance: Helping with day-to-day tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and childcare can alleviate the patient’s stress. 3. Medical Support: Accompanying the patient to medical appointments, keeping track of medications, and understanding the treatment plan can improve care coordination.
