ABSTRACT
Caregivers of cancer patients in the COVID-19 pandemics have been faced with new complexities and challenges related to their patient's care. It has added tremendous stress to the previous multiple caregiving roles. We present the journey of a caregiver of cancer survivor who had played multiple care giving roles for the past 10 years. With the added challenge of the pandemic the caregiver faced severe psychological distress concerning his caregiving role. This was addressed to a large extend with counseling and empathy. Communication is an important measure to relieve the distress and address the complexities faced by caregivers.
