The Passion of Caregivers

The Passion of Caregivers

“Caregivers, simply put, are those unsung heroes who care for a cancer patient during their cancer journey. Some might be at Relay with their cancer Survivor. Or maybe some of you are like ME, you have lost that special person you cared for. You are a caregiver!” Jeff Ross – Relay For Life Hall of Fame Member.

For every Survivor and loved one celebrated and remembered, there was at least one caregiver beside them through their journey.

 

The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) is committed to connecting people facing cancer with information, day-to-day help as well as emotional support they need in the communities where they live. Our aim is to ensure that cancer Survivors and their caregivers and loved ones don’t have to face cancer alone; we’re here to support them through every step of their cancer journey.*

* The responsibility rests with caregivers and patients to contact CANSA for assistance. CANSA is not informed of any diagnoses / of patients being treated at medical centres. Family and caregivers need to obtain permission from patients, before CANSA may contact them. Read more…
