    Managing Relationships as the Carer

    Caring for someone with advanced cancer can affect every aspect of your life, including your relationships with family and friends.

How can carers navigate this tricky territory and cope with all the shifting dynamics? Julie McCrossin tackles these issues with clinical psychologist Cath Adams. **We’d love to know what you think of this episode.
