Take your cues

Not sure what to talk about when visiting a cancer patient? Look for cues on what to discuss.

Friends often don’t want to talk about the cancer but as it’s a big part of a patient’s life and they can become frustrated and need to discuss what they are going through.

Other patients find that talking about something other than cancer and treatment is a nice change to the “world of cancer”.

Shelli loved talking about TV shows, reality shows etc. A cancer patient can have a large amount of viewing time so this might be a good topic to start. If you are not sure don’t be too afraid to ask what they want to talk about. You are there to listen to anything they want to discuss.
