As I have mentioned before, I find writing to be a good way to cope with Scott's cancer. Starting my series "A Caregiver's Journey" has been helpful to others, but has offered a lot insights into myself. To complete my series, I decided to tell my whole story. How I first became a caregiver, how I didn't even know I was a caregiver, and how I accepted the role again. If this can help one person that is also struggling through a loved one's illness, it's a success. https://lnkd.in/eT3HyE9y #DivineHealth #Caregiver #CaregiversJourney #Cancer

World Ovarian Cancer Day: Standing with Family Caregivers (my mom died of ovarian cancer on May 1, 2017). Family caregivers are the backbone of support for those battling ovarian cancer. Here's a glimpse of the global caregiving landscape: * **Millions dedicated:** Over 273 million people in India alone are estimated to be family caregivers [source: Carers Worldwide]. The global number is much higher. * **Juggling responsibilities:** 62% of U.S. caregivers are employed while caring for loved ones, highlighting the challenge of balancing work and caregiving [source: A Place for Mom]. * **Time commitment is high:** Many caregivers provide 20+ hours of care weekly, putting a strain on their own health and well-being [source: CaregiverDOTorg]. **You are not alone!** Family caregivers are a vital part of the fight against ovarian cancer.

After a Cancer Diagnosis: Tips as You Go Through Treatment and Recovery The American Cancer Society estimates that for the first time, new cases of cancer in the U.S. will cross the 2 million mark in 2024; that’s over 5,000 a day. However, great progress has been made in treating the many forms of the disease. Even with that, cancer can be a frightening illness, and its treatment can be exhausting and uncomfortable. Here are tips to help you or your senior loved one ease their journey through it: 1) Mental health can play an important role in recovery. Anxiety, stress, and depression are often a part of the journey. It’s important to seek help if you need it. Always let your health care provider know how you feel. They likely have recommendations to help, such as a referral to a mental health professional, joining a support group in your community or online, staying physically active, and maintaining social connections. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is a helpful resource, offering a free helpline by calling 800-950-NAMI, support group suggestions, and a wealth of information. 2) Keep moving even if you don’t feel like it. Physical activity boosts overall health, including mental health. Start small and build over time. Begin with a short walk. Do some stretches several times a day. If you have stairsteps, try a trip or two up and down each day. Join a yoga or tai chi class when you’re up for it. If you need help with any exercises, ask.

⭐Many little Stars will soon be starting or going back to school soon, and this can be a time of mixed emotions for their parents. 🎉A mum or birthing parent, diagnosed with cancer, might once have feared they would never see their child start school. This could be a cause for celebration. 😓Others might find juggling the back to school shopping, preparations and then adjusting to the term-time schedule very stressful on top of appointments, treatment or ill health. 💙Be patient with your patients and encourage them to see extra support if needed from family, friends, or additional organisations, like Mummy's Star. 🎁Provide 1hr of 1-2-1 support: https://ow.ly/fYSX50STMOW #cancer #cancerandpregnancy #backtoschool

⭐Will you be the one to spot the cancer symptoms first?⭐ Perinatal mums and birthing parents may visit their GP with cancer symptoms or concerns, while others visit for routine appointments or procedures. Both are opportunities to SEE THE SYMPTOM and begin a thorough exploration to either diagnose or rule out cancer. We encourage all staff working in a General Practice setting to be aware and ready to THINK: it could be cancer. 🏷️Tag any GP staff you know in the comments 📨Are you a HCP interested in knowing more?

#Breastfeeding is something many mums have the option of doing, but if undergoing some cancer treatments, this option may be taken away from them. Donor breast milk can be a welcome alternative. 💙It can be beneficial to baby's health, especially if born premature. 💗It can also have a huge positive psychological impact for mum, helping the patient to feel the their hopes and wishes matter and are being prioritised as much as safely possible. Donor milk may be accessed through the #NHS, by asking to speak to a #lactationspecialist in a hospital. If this is not possible, donor milk can be accessed privately, and a Mummy’s Star grant can be used to pay for this. 🌟Find further information on the importance of donor breast milk in our Ask The Expert video entitled 'Understanding Breastfeeding, Grief and Trauma' by Professor Amy Brown 📽️https://ow.ly/hrmM50SzAuG #cancerandpregnancy #cancer #cancerandbreastfeeding #donormilk
