When visiting a friend or family member who is sick its good to leave platitudes at the door.

What should you say to a cancer patient. Here are a few more conversation starters. You can just say Dang thats really hard Connect with yourself and how you feel when youre at your worst and understand that thats how the patient is feeling. These encouraging words would be welcoming at any time during the cancer journey of the person whether newly diagnosed or going through a relapse.

Thats not to say that patients shouldnt try to eat healthfully during treatment but they should first consult their doctor. Are you throwing up all the time. But for the average friend or more peripheral person its up to the cancer patient to divulge what they want Gralow suggests letting the patient lead the conversation ie if you have sensitive questions keep them to yourself.

Youve always stood up to a challenge and thats what. Well get through this together. One of the most meaningful things you can say to someone at the end of their life is Thank you As youre writing the letter reflect back on your relationship with this person.

Battling cancer is one of the hardest things youve ever done. Dont know what to say. Eventually I answered this question and all questions about how I was reacting to.

The best advice in this situation is to say how you feel. Its best not to frame your own holiday preparations boastfully. Silver-linings should only be found by the cancer survivor should they want to.

Youre on my mind and in my heart. An open-ended offer seems well-meaning but for an overwhelmed cancer. It is your duty as a friend or family member of a cancer patient to share encouraging words for cancer patients to help uplift them and show that you care.
