I'm Overwhelmed. Where Can I Get Help?

Being a caregiver can be a very challenging task. However, many resources exist to ease your burden.

• CancerCare's Caregiving for Your Loved One With Cancer is a free guide with advice on ways to help your loved one as well as tips for taking care of yourself.
• ACS's "Care Package' for the Caregiver" provides links to Web sites and toll-free phone numbers to help you find assistance in your community.
• NCI's "Caring for the Caregiver" has advice for how to ask others for help when caring for a loved one with cancer.

As always, your loved one's healthcare provider will be able to give you advice and may be able to recommend you resources in your community. You are not expected to have all of the answers, so never be afraid to ask for help.
