About me - Linda Alter
About me
I am full time caregiver for my mother, who has lung cancer. I have a thirteen year old daughter who is going to start junior high school in fall after being homeschooled for the last several years. I just found out my mothers lung cancer is out of remission and has spread from her lungs to possibly her lymph nodes and bones. Her condition has worsened to the point she needs me at home full time now, and it is a severely stressful position to be in. Anyone who has been a caregiver, who is a caregiver who needs to talk, please feel free to write to me!
