American author and health reporter Lori Hope talks to TIME's Claudia Wallis about how to talk to a friend who's got cancer. Armed with the best intentions of showing our support, it's easy to suddenly find ourselves afraid of saying the wrong thing, or wondering how anything we see could possibly be adequate.
Hope identifies closley with both sides. A five-year survivor herself of lung cancer; she has also supported two cousins and a close friend through cancer. Her experience led her to write the book 'Help Me Live: 20 Things People With Cancer Want You to Know', published in 2005 by Celestial Arts. To read the TIME magazine article, Click Here.
