How to care for cancer patients - advice from our expert team of CareGivers in Brentwood, Billericay & Rayleigh


Caring for a family member or a person living with cancer can be a daunting task and one that may affect your relationships. Suddenly, you will have many additional responsibilities, as well as running things in your own life too. 

Although caring for a loved one can be a very rewarding job, and one that you want to do, all these extra responsibilities can lead to emotional burnout. Suddenly, you will have many additional responsibilities, as well as running things in your own life too. This is why it’s important to ask for care and support, for all of the family.

Our specialist cancer Carers in Brentwood, Billericay & Rayleigh can provide advice for how to care for cancer patients when your homecare providers are not around. But the most important thing is often the emotional support you can offer the person you are caring for.

Speak to us to discuss your needs, or those of a loved one. In the meantime, read our tips for caring for a person living with cancer.

1. Access educational resources

Learn as much as you can about the type of cancer your loved one has been diagnosed with. Make sure you know what to expect, what your treatment options are and any potential side effects to prepare for. This will help you feel prepared when it comes to making decisions about your loved one’s care. 

Research nursing care for different stages of cancer, including palliative care services. The health care that will be needed at the beginning of a cancer diagnosis is not the same as it is when undergoing treatment, or in remission. Make sure you are informed throughout the whole journey. 

It’s important to know what to expect if your loved one were to move to the next stage. They may need to receive palliative care; this is something you can discuss with our team of CareGivers. Our CareGivers in Brentwood, Billericay & Rayleigh will help you to consider the full cancer journey when defining a personal care plan for your loved one.

2.Stay organised 

Many Clients find it helpful to use a whiteboard, or something similar, to make a note of medical correspondence, keeping a note of all appointment times, test results and medications. Also write down any important contact details, in case you or your CareGiver should need them. 

Noting down the time the last medication was taken or upcoming appointment times means you’ll have one less thing to remember. Our Brentwood, Billericay & Rayleigh-based CareGivers can provide support with taking medication if required.

3. Listen to your loved one 

Our team understand the importance of emotional support. However, it’s important not to tell anyone dealing with cancer how they ought to think or feel. Accept their bad days and let them talk to you when needed. 

It’s really important for family CareGivers to take a break from focusing on their loved one’s cancer diagnosis. Ensure that you’re still doing things together which allows you both to focus on something else. Consider joining a local community project. Our CareGivers are active members of the Brentwood, Billericay & Rayleigh community and can help to recommend and facilitate days out. 

4. Look after yourself 

You can’t be the best Carer to your loved one if you are not looking after yourself too. Accept help, whether that is from another family member, or a care service like Right at Home Brentwood, Billericay & Rayleigh. Our respite care services also offer respite that will enable you to take a break to rest and recharge your own batteries. 

You are not in this alone and receiving help can help you both emotionally and physically.
