Question about Caregivers?

MelanieBC

Hi there,

I have been visiting this group and posting for a couple of months now. I was wondering if the topics such as monthly chemo threads, etc. are specific to those with cancer and not caregivers? My mom has cancer and I am a caregiver but she doesn't really want to post on the forums so I kind of post on her behalf but I don't feel comfortable sometimes so I will start a new thread but then no one answers it.

I was wondering if it is offensive as someone not having cancer to post in a thread that is mostly made up of those with cancer?

I really don't want to offend anyone and I try to be as compassionate and understanding as I can. Cancer is so awful especially for those who have it. I don't want to step on toes!

Help!

Melanie, I just love that you are so caring! We can see in your bio line that you are her caregiver, and I cannot see anyone being offended by someone who cares so much.

I agree and please give our best to your mom.
