Lena: Hey everyone, welcome back! I'm Lena, and we've got something really important to dive into today that hits close to home for so many of us-supporting a spouse through their cancer battle. Eli, I have to say, this is one of those topics where I feel like we really need to get real about what caregivers go through.
Eli: Absolutely, Lena! And you know what's fascinating? I've been reading through all this research, and there's this incredible study that just came out showing that spouses of cancer patients actually have increased suicide risk, especially in that first year after diagnosis. It really drives home how much we need to talk about this-not just the patient's journey, but the caregiver's experience too.
Lena: That's exactly why I'm so excited we're tackling this together. Because when someone you love gets that diagnosis, your whole world changes overnight, and we need real strategies to navigate that.
