The Research & Training Institute recently presented findings from the Cancer Experience Registry at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium based on data from 273 Metastatic Breast Cancer patients and survivors.

The Cancer Support Community shares important information about the relationship between psychosocial distress and unmet needs, as well as some suggestions about how best to provide AML patients and survivors with supportive care.

The toll of Brett's cancer on his body made home hospice no longer a viable option. After his most recent seizure, he was admitted into hospice. Going into hospice was almost a relief. I lived with premature anticipatory grief for years knowing Brett's cancer was incurable.

Being Brett’s wife and caregiver was a complicated role, and it strained my nerves. It was hard to simply rest my head on his shoulder the way I used to, or to express my own need for emotional intimacy and comfort when the gravity of his illness loomed large. I bounced back quickly from hurt feelings because there was no choice but to be present when we our time together as a family was diminishing. Every moment mattered.
