As a caretaker to my husband who had cancer and is now in remission, here are some caretaker tips:

- Take it one day at a time

- Schedule time for yourself fairly often to do things you like that are away from treatment and away from your home

- Prioritize sleep!

- Set up a meal train so at least some meals are taken care of. We prioritized chemo weeks for our meal train

- Make a countdown to important milestones. It's okay to wish this time in your life away

- You will feel lonely. Have some friends you know you can call

- Find a cancer caregiver support group. Other cancer caregivers "get it" better than others

- Celebrate the milestones, all the time, forever
