I Don't Know How to Help a Loved One Who Has Been Diagnosed with Cancer

As the treatment can take many forms, the key is to act according to the situation. Perhaps you need to ask more often "Can I help you somehow?". If you see that the person is lively but emotionally confused, you can offer to do something together. Your loved one will feel needed, his or her thoughts will be distracted from the illness, at least for a while. The final piece of advice is not to fall into extremes, but to follow how your loved one feels and what they say.
