Caring for a Young Person With Cancer Can Be a Balancing Act

Author(s):

Nancy Bell

Nancy Bell’s daughter, Taylor Bell Duck, was only 21 years old when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Seeing her daughter battle the disease at such a young age was one of the most difficult parts of being a caregiver for Nancy, as she needed to not only provide emotional support, but also balance between not having enough hope or having too much hope.
