Danielle, I must echo what Gary said in the last part of the post. How can your mom take care of your daughter at this stage? She is the one who needs to be taken care of. The body energy and mental state are on a gradual decline after completing treatment and takes quite a long while to heal. I am still thinking of cancer every day even though I am over 2 years post treatment. But for caregivers, the impact is less as I feel that my husband and sons have already forgotten that they once had a severely ill cancer patient at home. Good for them.
