Parenting with Cancer Webinar Series
The Sandwich Generation: Balancing Cancer, Children, and Aging Parents
Date: April 22, 2026
Time: 2 pm PT | 3 pm MT | 4 pm CT | 5 pm ET
Balancing cancer treatment with the needs of children and aging parents can leave little space for your emotional well-being or personal needs outside of medical care. For many, the demands of caring for others while managing your own illness can feel relentless, overwhelming and exhausting. This presentation will give space to name that weight, acknowledge the unique pressures of caregiving while facing illness, and normalize the emotional impact. This webinar will explore supportive strategies for coping, communication, and finding ways to protect your energy, your voice, and your well-being.
This webinar is for cancer patients, their partners, and healthcare providers who support these families.
