MRF's Caregiver Support Guide

We understand that caregivers need information and support. In this guide, we’ll talk about the tools you’ll need to maintain some control over what is happening in your life, as well as provide you with tips on self-care.

We encourage you to: Learn as much as you can about melanoma and the treatment options available. The more you know, the more effective you’ll be and the better you’ll feel about your efforts.

Know your strengths and limitations. Be realistic about how much of your time and yourself you can give. Set clear limits. Make sure that those around you — doctors, family members and anyone else involved in your loved one’s care — understand what those limits are so they can better support you.
