This study is looking at whether a program called COPE + (BEHAVIORAL) can help families where one person has cancer and mild memory problems. This program involves both the patient and their spouse or family caregiver (a "dyad"). You would have six, 60-minute video sessions that teach skills for coping with distress and improving communication. The study is for people aged 65 or older with certain types of cancer (breast, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, or lung) diagnosed within the last two years, who also have mild memory difficulties. Success in this study will be measured by how many sessions people complete and how satisfied they are with the program. The study aims to enroll 80 participants.
