I am a cancer survivor

I am a grateful 4year survivor of Stage 1A breast cancer, and I am
extremely grateful for that. For the past several months my husband and I
have become rotating full time caregivers for our son who is battling Cmml
Leukemia at Mayo. I really feel down and lonely at times since I am away
from family and friends. It's so easy to forget about taking care of me.

@javajude This must be such a difficult time for you. I can’t even imagine. You said that you rotate care for your son—does this mean that you go all by yourself and stay for several days? Maybe you’d like to look at the Caregiving group on this site. Lots of caring people and support. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lessons-i-learned-from-caregiving/

@javajude Wow this is a crazy story, I could imagine this being very difficult. I am sure your son appreciates you so much for everything you do for him. I know going through my cancer battle I could not have done it without the help of my Mom.
