Wink Re: How do you help others with Cancer?

I hope I am a good listener when cancer patients want someone to listen to them. I try to give encouragement to the new patients who are scared of chemo. I try to set a good example for others and sometimes I share tips for coping with others who are having problems.
I have held the hands of people who were in pain when a nurse tried to access their uncooperative veins. I have shared my snacks with hungry people in the doctor's office. Somehow those folks were never told their treatment would take a long time and they didn't have anything to eat since early morning.
