Suddenly a Caregiver
Sharing a family’s experience and lessons learned to help you through the unexpected responsibility of becoming a family caregiver. 
At the urging of friends and family, I started working on a book about caregiving for someone diagnosed with gliobastoma multiforme (GBM) – a stage 4 brain cancer. Glioblastoma effects over 10,000 Americans per year (CBTRUS, 2012). In a single day, I suddenly became a caregiver. I received a crash course about brain tumors and cancer and my new role as an advocate to communicate with doctors to ensure the best treatment plan possible. I learned about the needs of someone suffering from this deadly disease. I want to share the story of one person’s courage in her fight against this disease and the lessons that I learned along the way. My hope is that our story will be a source of encouragement and strength for you if you find yourself Suddenly a Caregiver. Visit Book Page Visit Facebook Pageto join the discussion
