Everyone is directly affected as a caregiver when a loved one who has been diagnosed with a disease. Everyone.
Take breast cancer, and men, as just one small example. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimes. Given that every man has a mom, over 50% of all men get married at least once, and another 50% or so have either a daughter or sister, that means nearly 25% of ALL men will have a mom, wife, sister, or daughter diagnosed in their lifetime. One in four. And thats just counting the men in a breast cancer patients lifenot her mom, sisters, or daughters.
How many more caregivers, then, are out there today with loved ones diagnosed with other cancers, heart disease, respiratory illnesses, kidney disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, etc? Millions.
John Anderson in his speech serves as an invaluable guide for all those caregivers out there on how best to help their loved ones through their own personal journeys. John knows, first-hand, what to do, having been a caregiver to four women in his life who went through breast cancerhis wife, mom, moms best friend and sister, sharing his personal and emotional experiences. John will take his audience through every step of the medical processdiagnosis, surgery, recovery, prescriptions, insurance, and beyondalong with all of the difficult emotional and psychological landmines to overcome as well.
The greatest hot button issue, other than the economy, is healthcare. Cynics, especially those in the media, think there is no answer in sight. John Anderson disagrees. Thats because hes busy working with a team of doctors to solve the healthcare problem right in the doctors examination room. The answer lies with a newcomer to the doctor/patient relationshipthe caregiverto create an evolutionary change in medicine John refers to as the doctor/patient/caregiver triangle of care.
