On the last episode of the GOSH Podcast, we met Helen and learned more about her journey with endometrial cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic. This week, we are back with Patrick Mehr, Helen's husband, to share his experiences as a caregiver during and after his wife’s endometrial cancer diagnosis. In this episode, you will hear about how Patrick took care of Helen and himself during the journey as well as some useful tips for whoever is undertaking the role of a caregiver for a cancer patient.
