Caregiver: The Invisible Patient | Wellspring Speaker Series

In the profoundly wise words of Jim Button, husband, father, entrepreneur, and cancer patient, “The caregiver is the invisible patient. Often they can only stand by your side and wonder where they can have an impact. It’s a tough line to walk, but they do it day in and day out. In many cases, the caregiver has a more complex and stressful journey than the actual patient.” In this video listen to Jim and his wife, Tracey Button, as Tracey shares from her deep well of experience, what it is to be the ‘invisible patient,’ caring for her life mate who has chronic cancer. Also joining the conversation is Dave Kelly, celebrated Calgary show host and close friend. In this candid conversation, there is plenty of personal reflection with some sage advice and some humour sprinkled in.
