My mom's breast cancer & question about connecting with caregivers

Hi everyone! I am new here, and really glad that I have found a community where I can hopefully give and receive support.

My mom was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer in late spring. She has completed her first round of chemotherapy, and fortunately, there are already signs that the cancer is retreating in her left breast and lymph nodes. She will continue chemotherapy every three weeks until around mid-February, after which she’ll likely have a lumpectomy. I live in another country—thankfully not too far away—so I’ve been traveling back and forth to support her, with the help of close friends as well. I wanted to join this community to connect with others, learn how to better support my mom, as well as myself in the process.

That said, are there any initiatives for caregivers to meet online, and would anyone be interested in participating?
