It is normal to feel that you don’t know what to say to someone who has cancer. You may have         or close relationship with the person. The most important thing you can do is to acknowledge the situation. You can show interest and concern, you can express         , or you can offer support.
While it is good to be encouraging, it is also important to show optimism or to tell the person with cancer to always have a         attitude. It is widely considered that doing these things may         their fears, concerns, or sad feelings.
Humor can be an important way of coping. Let the person with cancer take the       . It is healthy if they find something funny about a side effect, like hair loss, and you can certainly join them in a good laugh. This can be a great way to         stress.
When the person with cancer looks good, let them know! Hold back comments when their appearance isn’t as good, such as “You’re looking pale.” Cancer and its treatment can be very         , so be prepared for good days and bad times.
Avoid telling the person with cancer stories about family members or friends who have had cancer. Everyone is different, and these stories may not be helpful.       , it is better simply to tell them you know something about cancer because you’ve been through it with someone else.
