Are you sorry that they are going through this.

What do you say to someone who has cancer and is dying. I am going to be here for you just like youve always supported me. Her advice is to act normally. Do ask how theyre doing today.

I dont know if you remember this but one day at work you told me share something that made you smile or encouraged you in some way Your smile has. Should I ask about their illness or avoid the subject. Do you care about them.

Whenever anyone asked me that during treatment Id think How much information do you really want. Cook some food clean the house send cards keep in touch often. We recently asked the cancer patients survivors and caregivers in our Facebook community to share the best things to say to someone with cancer.

I remember that theres no need to urge the person to beat it theres no reason to bring up the story of someone who died of cancer and theres even less purpose in silence. But its very helpful to let the person know that youre willing to talk and to listen. You might want to say Oh itll be fine just you wait and see or Lets not talk like that things will work out.

There is no need to lower your voice or be sad all the time. If someone else asks you about it you can say something like Its not up to me to share this but Im sure ____ will appreciate your concern. Ask how theyre holding up.

There are really only two things that need to be said to someone you love facing cancer of any stage. Giving a hug or holding their hand may speak louder than any sentiment. Youre not facing cancer alone I am praying for you Go to MD Anderson.
