Episode #3 How Can We Better Support Cancer Caregivers? 4 Evidence-Based Interventions & the Role of Advocacy
Caregivers play a vital role in a cancer patient’s journey, yet their own mental, emotional, and physical well-being is often overlooked. In this episode of the Collaborative Cancer Care Podcast, Dr. Wendy Garvin Mayo sits down with Dr. Tracy Wilson, a dedicated multiple myeloma caregiver for her husband, to discuss their co-authored article:
"Identifying and Addressing the Needs of Caregivers of Patients with Cancer: Evidence on Interventions and the Role of Patient Advocacy Groups."
Together, they explore evidence-based strategies to support caregivers, the challenges they face, and how patient advocacy groups can provide crucial resources. Whether you're a caregiver, patient, or healthcare professional, this conversation will highlight the importance of caregiver well-being and the need for a more comprehensive support system in cancer care.
