First and foremost, thank you—for being generous with your support, for taking the time to learn more, and for making a meaningful difference in the life of someone you care for.
Caring for a patient with MCL may seem overwhelming at times, but know that you’re not alone. In the US, you're one of more than 65 million people who act as a caregiver.
Learning to use some of the below tips and strategies may help make things easier.
With MCL treatment comes many decisions. Through it all, you can be there to listen, discuss, and collaborate with the person you care for.
The person you care for has the right to make decisions about their life as long as they’re able, and it’s important to respect that right.
The ability to choose—whether between ice cream flavors or treatment options—is important to everyone, especially the person you care for. Whenever possible, offer choices to help keep their world open and full of possibility.
Part of being a caregiver is offering support, even when the person you care for doesn’t ask. Although circumstances may change and needs may vary, thinking ahead to offer support and assistance proactively can go a long way.
Caregiving can be exhausting, especially on top of your everyday responsibilities. Stay in touch with yourself and pay attention to when you’re tired, stressed, or just plain exhausted. Exhaustion can lead even the most well-intentioned caregivers to make bad choices, cause unnecessary frustration, and distract from the needs of the person they’re caring for.
