Episode 14: Long-Distance Caregiving: Reaching out when a loved one has cancer

In 2008, 1.4 million people were diagnosed with cancer, and today, there are 12 million cancer survivors living in the United States today. When you see these statistics, it becomes clear that everyone has somehow been affected by this disease. On this episode we’re going to talk about the important role of the cancer caregiver, but we’re going to focus issues specific to long-distance caregivers. There are approximately 7 million long-distance caregivers in the United States, and as cancer continues to become more of a chronic illness, the number of long-distance caregivers caring for and about someone with cancer will continue to increase. Guests include Virginia Green, PhD, caregiver and former participant at TWC-Redondo Beach; and Christine Winkler, PhD, MFT, facilitator of the Family Support group at TWC-Redondo Beach.
