NUBEQA understands the vital role you play in supporting your loved one with prostate cancer. Caring for someone with cancer is more than providing care—it’s offering emotional and practical support throughout their journey. While the care you give is invaluable, it’s just as important to take care of yourself.

Four ways to help manage stress and maintain your well-being:
Focus on your wellness with a healthy diet and exercise.
Ask for help from family and friends in caring for your loved one.
Do things you enjoy outside the home, such as meeting a friend for lunch or taking a walk.
Seek help from a support group or mental health professional.
We know it can be hard to find the time or even to just figure out what you can do to take care of yourself. That's why we created a guide for people like you with tips to help you take care of yourself as you continue to take care of your loved one.
Caregiver Self-Care Tips
Tony Romo knows what it feels like to see someone you care for go through a prostate cancer journey and how crucial it is to support them along the way. He is part of the team who cheered on his dad, Ramiro, as he faced prostate cancer, and has now teamed up with Bayer to celebrate real patients on NUBEQA and their families. Tony hopes to encourage everyone to enjoy the everyday moments.
“Supporting my dad through prostate cancer has brought us closer as a family. My mom especially has been an incredible pillar of support, and it has been inspiring to stand by her as we care for him together.”
—Tony Romo, former professional quarterback
Tony Romo does not have prostate cancer and is not a NUBEQA patient. Ramiro is not a NUBEQA patient.
