And maybe you’ll avoid the following situation.
One of my colleagues at work, “Bob,” heard via the grapevine that I had cancer, and was starting chemotherapy. He sat down next to me, looked me in the eye with great sympathy, and said, “I have two friends who’ve done chemotherapy. It was the worst experience of their life.” He shook his head sadly, and walked away.
Uh, thanks for sharing, Bob…
Rule #1 for friends and family communicating with someone starting cancer treatment: DO NOT share horror stories.
But that’s another post – coming next month!
