L L9Cancer Institute CANCER | BASICS 4 ‘ Q: who are the unsung heroes in cancer care? A = They are the family caregivers of cancer patients. They are known for their inner strength and the courage of their convictions. These attrib- utes allow them to go on despite the pain, provide the power to solve problems and make a difference, and offer a fountain of hope to dip into. Caregiving for a loved one with cancer is a role which tests a person's abilities, faith, and character. Caregivers have undergone trial by fire and survived.
