Advice for Caregivers of Colon Cancer Patients

Caregivers of colon cancer patients have needs just as patients do. Dr. Madappa Kundranda talks about what those needs are and how to make sure they are met. He advises caregivers to do a half an hour of exercise a day to help maintain their physical health. Having a support system to lean on is important for a caregiver's mental health. Anxiety and depression can accompany trying times, so make sure you are letting others know how you feel. We are social creatures, so having others around is necessary for our social health. Dr. Kundranda obtained his medical degree from Bangalore University in India, before earning a PhD in cancer biology from Meharry Medical College in Nashville. Dr. Kundranda next completed an internship and residency in internal medicine at Fairview Hospital, a Cleveland Clinic Hospital. He then finished a hematology/oncology fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ. He is currently a medical oncologist with Western Regional Medical Center.
