Phyllis, thank you very much for the beautiful tribute to cancer caregivers as the month of October winds down. Your tips parallel the advice I give to people who want to say/do the right thing for cancer survivors but are not sure if what they say/do will help or hurt. Blessings, Jan
Thank you, Jan. You are right. Many people do nothing because helping someone with a serious illness is a new situation for them, and they fear saying something wrong. I think most people on the patient side would rather someone say something awkward rather than ignore the situation altogether. The tips, of course, come from Rich Smith. I was just passing along his experience and wisdom.
