A cancer diagnosis is a personal experience that affects entire families, not just a single person. Sharing with others about a diagnosis and your journey is often done with the people we love and trust. Frequently, the dynamics of relationships and friendships transition and adjust when people experience a life changing diagnosis. Cancer can be very isolating, and losing companionship as a result is devastating. Let's get real about all aspects of a cancer diagnosis and how it affects those around us. Addressing how others can help, open lines of communication, and encourage their loved ones during their cancer journey is the purpose of discussing life In Confidence.
