Ana, 37
caregiver, with her father and son
Dealing with my father's diagnosis was tough. I needed to talk with people who were going through the same thing I was experiencing. A friend suggested I contact LIVESTRONG because her coworker had received tremendous support.
LIVESTRONG's emotional support services helped ease my stress, and I got facts about cancer from a nurse. I also found out there was professional emotional support for my son. Too many people are afraid of even saying the word "cancer." LIVESTRONG helps people come together to share our experiences and knowledge.
