Cancer treatment takes many forms: chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and every step brings its own challenges at home. The truth is that most patients need more support than family alone can provide.

I know this personally. My mom had over half of her lungs removed. My dad went through surgery to remove his bladder and prostate. Both would have benefited from a caregiver during recovery, someone to help manage the daily tasks while they focused on healing.

The Challenges Cancer Patients Face

• Chemo and radiation often leave patients fatigued, nauseous, or weak.
• Post-surgical recovery can limit movement, breathing, and independence.
• Medication schedules can be complex, with strict timing.
• Nutrition and hydration are critical, but meal prep takes energy many don’t have.
• Transportation to treatments and follow-up visits can be difficult without help.
• Household responsibilities still pile up even when rest is needed.
