At the ThyCa Conference, Charlotte sits down with caregiver and Thyca volunteer Miguel Meléndez for an honest conversation about what caregiving really feels like behind the scenes.

Miguel shares the one piece of advice he gives every caregiver, the challenges men face in caregiving roles, and how caring for a spouse while raising three young children reshaped his sense of identity and resilience.

They talk openly about self-preservation, the emotional toll of patient portals, maintaining connection during long cancer journeys, and the quiet loneliness that can come with caregiving. If you’ve ever felt unseen or unsure how to take care of yourself while caring for someone else, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone.
