I want to thank everyone for all the helpful insight into being a caregiver of a cancer patient and after 4 months of very little communication we are beginning to talk and joke like we used to. It doesn't happen everyday,some days are good and some aren't so good,but at least I understand why and when to back off.

I am a caregiver and parent whose adult daughter was diagnosed with stage 3,scc and who has gone through surgery,it has been 4 months since surgery and our relationship is quite strained as to where we don't talk anymore except about superficial things.Anything I say is wrong,so I don't know what to say anymore. I'm really at my wits end,trying not to take it personally.
