Caregiver Role in Pain and Symptom Management
Your role as a Caregiver when it comes to Pain and Symptom Management is to support and be an advocate for your loved one. Your loved one may forget how they felt on a given day, or may not be able to describe their symptoms to the doctor themselves. If your loved one is having pain or uncomfortable symptoms, don’t be afraid to mention it to the doctor or nurse. Most importantly, you can help your loved one by being there for them. Just being a good listener and reassuring your loved one that you are there for them can help greatly.

How your family unit generally functions

Do family members communicate effectively, solve problems, and work well as a team? If so, your family may already be well prepared for the challenges involved in cancer and caregiving. Do family members tend to act independently or at cross-purposes? If so, it may take more time to focus efforts and coordinate activities. Has your loved one traditionally been the primary decision maker? If so, family roles and responsibilities may change a lot.
