Because cancer treatment is not a visible hurt, like a broken leg, folks don’t know when you need help.” Don’t be afraid to ask. Keep your requests simple and specific. For example, I can’t open this jar to feed my cat. Would you please stop by? Or maybe, I’m out of milk and can’t drive right now. Would you grab some for me on your way over?
If you know someone going through treatment, remember that just because they might look okay doesn’t mean they aren’t absolutely exhausted. Please do not assume they can do any of the things they used to do. Offer to help, even with the little things. Instead of asking if you could come clean their house, (they will say no), ask if you could stop by for a visit and while you’re there grab a broom.
