The side effects can make it more difficult to continue with everyday tasks, and asking for help is not always easy. When a loved one shares her diagnosis of breast cancer, it may be difficult to know what to do in response to show support for them. Many caregivers believe that providing practical support is the most helpful. Examples include:
• Grocery shopping
• Cleaning and vacuuming
• Laundry washing and ironing
• Gardening
• Dog walking
• Cooking meals for freezing
• Providing transport to and from hospital appointments
• Babysitting
