Re: How do you help others with Cancer?

Loving all the reflections here. And reminding me of all the kind gestures. The neighbor who stopped by daily to encourage dog walking, even if I could only get as far as the corner. (we had never been close before). A suprise greeting card or phone call. Lunch invitation. Sometimes a homemade CAKE!
It is wonderful to hear about the kids being provided distractions.
People are so good.

Re: How do you help others with Cancer?

Tonya,

I would offer to accompany them to their first few visits with their oncologists so that you may assist them in asking the right questions and take notes for them.

We have all been through this experience and know what it is like.

Regards
Joe
