The Deer Life of Sarah

It is normal to feel that you don’t know what to say to someone who has cancer. You might only know the person casually, or you may have a closer relationship. The most important thing you can do is acknowledge the situation in some way – whatever is most comfortable for you. You can show interest and concern, you can express encouragement, or you can offer support. Sometimes the most simple expressions of concern are the most meaningful. 

Here are some ideas:

• "I’m not sure what to say, but I want you to know I care."
• "I’m sorry to hear that you are going through this."
• "How are you doing?"
• "If you would like to talk about it, I am here."
• "Please let me know if I can help."
• "I’ll keep you in my thoughts."

DUH!

The “pink” slogan behind National breast Cancer Awareness Month has become consumer-oriented and emphasizes an individualistic approach to healthcare.
