Im so impressed by your courage and endurance.

What to say in a card to someone who has terminal cancer. The focus should be on the experiences of the person to whom you are writing the card. Even optimistic vegans die of cancer. Youll beat it.

If you know somebody who has been through cancer you can mention this and offer to introduce them but dont push it. Remember this above all else. Not understanding someones terminal diagnosis can be unintentionally offensive.

Writing about someone elses could feel offensive. Some people dont say anything at all because they dont want to cause sadness or hurt. In a survey of more than 600 survivors this comment was valued greatly by working cancer patients.

Listen to what the person has to say without judgment and make sure the individual knows that youll always be there no matter what. Sometimes the right thing to say to a person who has cancer is nothing at all. You can just say I have friend who went through cancer a few years ago if you like I can put you in touch.

I am thinking of you Just saying that lets the coworker know you care. Experts suggest that you dont say Its going to be OK Make it clear you are there for them try to create a semblance of normalcy ask how they are feeling today and be a good listener. I have enormously appreciated such messages.

Generally Id say that avoiding the subject is not good. Kate Wight BA in English. When someone you love is diagnosed with cancer it is hard to know what to say.
