Sometimes it’s hard to know what to say, especially when cancer is involved.
We recently asked our social media audience: When living with cancer, what words would you most want to hear from your family and friends? What would you not want to hear?
While a few commenters noted that every conversation has the potential to be a sticky situation – one said that “it’s like (walking) on eggshells trying to say the right thing” – a few recognize that for the most part, friends and family don’t mean any harm. As one commenter explained, “Overall, I realize people are well meaning so I try to remember that.”
