How to talk about cancer

Cancer is complex and difficult and so is talking about it. Whether you are the one with the illness, a relative, friend or medical professional. How should we talk about a cancer diagnosis or prognosis, cancer treatment, the help we need, the fears we have? And why may we sometimes prefer not to say or hear anything at all? In this episode of her 'Cancer and You' podcast Karin Sieger provides down to earth advice about talking about cancer and shares some of her own experiences. You can read her accompanying article HERE.
