Help & humor for the sandwich generation
I'm Nina,
I’m a mother, grandmother, daughter, caregiver, and breast cancer patient. I’m also a teacher, and a proud member of Gen-X, and also the sandwich generation. My parents live with us, and my mom has been fighting lung cancer for 7 years now. So my breast cancer diagnosis completely upended my life plans and goals. Suddenly I needed a caregiver, and that was not something I was prepared for.

When I received my diagnosis, I couldn’t find any resources for someone in my situation. I knew there had to be others who were caring for aging parents, working, and finding themselves blindsided by a cancer diagnosis. Since I couldn’t find the support I was looking for, I decided to create one. This is the story of my journey and my family's journey. It’s full of love, hard times, humor, and lots of helpful information for caregivers and those being cared for.
To empower and inform other women battling with or caring for those with breast cancer.
