'Cancer Ghosting': When friends appear to pull away from contacting a cancer patient.

 

Friends can be fearful of how to react, what to say and how to help.

​

​

While everyone is different and will require individualised support, we've put together a few tips to help you navigate this with compassion - from a patient's perspective.
