Yes, Cancer effects those of us stricken with it but it also effects more than you know.
Our partners of course are effected and they become our Caregivers and can feel our pains. They more often than not become record keepers and translators of what the medicals tell us. But the latter not always or fully.
Then we have extended family, mothers,fathers, siblings, siblings partners, daughters, sons, just to name a few. As we age some of these are not with us anymore but others come on board.
Close friends, neighbors, clergy, members of groups we belong to, coworkers just to name a few more. But we get surprised by people that jump into our lives and join your support system. This is a joy that cannot be anticipated.
