Your most enduring professional legacy is not your CV — there will always be others with more papers, grants, earnings. Your most *enduring* professional legacy is...your mentees!

2/ Most family #caregivers aren't in #healthcare. They step up to learn medical care - giving meds, monitoring for drug side effects, coordinating care, managing pain, nausea & other #cancer symptoms while managing finances, assisting w personal care, and offering endless emotional & social support.
