When talking with someone who has cancer the most important thing is to listen.

What can you say to someone who has cancer. It seems reasonable to me to be feeling sad. Call before you visit and be understanding if your friend cant see you. Tell them to be strong or be positive it puts pressure on them to behave a certain way.

Dont know what to say. Do you care about them. You can just say I have friend who went through cancer.

If you are open and honest with the person you love a simple text message or short email may remind them that they are in your thoughts. Friends and loved ones. When someone you know is diagnosed with cancer your mind may go blank and you may be at a loss for words.

Cancer social well being. Are you sorry that they are going through this. Are you thinking about them.

Take your cues from the person with cancer. The best thing you can do in this type of situation is express support and encouragement for your friend. If you try to equate your friends diagnosis to a difficult period is yours or somebody elses life.

I can hear it has been really hard for you to share thank you for sharing. When someone you love is diagnosed with cancer it is hard to know what to say. It is best to allow him or her to decide when.
