Help Me Live, Revised

20 Things People with Cancer Want You to Know





A cancer survivor offers 20 crucial suggestions for the friends, family members, physicians, and caregivers of cancer patients wishing to understand, communicate, and act with greater empathy and sensitivity.

Almost all of us know someone with cancer.
 
And, of course, we want nothing more than to offer comfort and support, and foster hope. But we don’t always know how—and may feel uncomfortable asking. Following her own treatment for cancer, Lori Hope created a survey for cancer survivors addressing issues they wanted their families, friends, and caregivers to understand. The results of the newly expanded survey are presented with honesty, insight, and humor, and complemented by scores of compelling personal stories from survivors of diverse ages and backgrounds.
 
If you are a caregiver, Help Me Live will help you communicate more effectively and respond more compassionately. And if you are a survivor, it will help you feel validated, empowered, and, ultimately, hopeful.
