http://csn.cancer.org/node/136485 Comments for "~Help for 88yr old CAREGIVER?~" en-csn http://csn.cancer.org/node/136485 <p>Hello there. My father is 66 and his prostrate cancer has spread into his bones. Currently his mother, 88, is his primary caregiver. I drive him back and forth to all appointments and offer both of them as much support as I can. However, there's only so much I can understand about being 88 and caregiving for your own "senior" baby. She tells me she's glad she has me to share insights & nuances about my father with. (She's known him longer but I've lived with him longer.) </p> <p>Occasionally she tells me "no one understands what I'm going through". And she's right. </p> <p>Is there anyone out there who's a "senior" and taking care of their own adult child?? I would love to give her someone to talk, chat or share with. </p> <p>Thanks,<br /> ~Connie~ </p> http://csn.cancer.org/node/136485#comment Caregivers Wed, 25 Jul 2001 16:54:47 -0400 cagl 136485 at http://csn.cancer.org
