Caregiver advice: “Don’t expect others to know what your needs are.”

Remember this advice from a member of our Caregiver Circle panel, Helen Smith, physician office receptionist and patient support coordinator with Floyd Memorial Hospital Cancer Center.

“Don’t expect other people to know what your needs are. You have to let them know, even if it is an hour just to take a walk, go to a movie, or just to get away and take a deep breath.”
