How to be a Better Caregiver for Cancer Patients | Josh Bedingfield | TEDxUTAustin

Knowing how to help can give our loved ones more precious moments.Driven by his sister’s death to brain cancer, Josh Bedingfield details what he realized during and after his family’s experience supporting Katie through her illness and loss: that chemotherapy and radiation aren’t the only options to help. Social support can better outcomes for cancer patients.
Through challenging family moments with brain cancer, processing death, and cycling across the continent, the talk that starts with “I need you right now” shows how social support can fight cancer.
Cancer patients need us right now.
