Have you ever struggled to find the right words when a friend or family member is diagnosed with cancer? Do you worry about saying the wrong thing or unintentionally causing more distress? Many people feel paralyzed by the fear of making a mistake, leading them to withdraw when their support is needed most.

In this episode, Cancer and Comedy hosts Dr. Brad Miller and Deb Krier discuss helpful and appropriate ways to support someone with cancer, addressing a common challenge many face when trying to comfort loved ones during difficult times.
