These are times spent that will usually be looked upon lovingly later. When it comes to Kissimmee/Osceola Seniors seniors who are diagnosed with cancer, the holidays can bring about a mixture of feelings for them as well as their loved ones and caregivers. The caregiver may have added stress with the planning of responsibilities, all while not wanting to be overbearing so that all can enjoy making memories.
