Episode 3 - Life as a Carer
Welcome to Episode 3. Today, co-host Sara Challice explains what it's like when you're told that a loved one has a brain tumour and how her husband's diagnosis changed her life forever as she took on the role of his carer throughout his illness.
Sara opens up about the reality of caring, the toll it takes on individuals and the things she found helpful.
