When a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, it is often difficult to know what to do. Those who want to help can sometimes make matters worse. Written in a frank conversational manner, this book offers readers specific advice on what to do for a friend or loved one in need, such as offer to do the weekly grocery shopping, pick up the kids from school or bring them to practice, choose to be a chemobuddy, and keep up with bills and other important deadlines.
This stressful and uncertain time is difficult for the patient's family and friends. How Can I Help? provides the support and guidance everyone needs to make this time easier.
