When faced with the distressing news of a family member or friend being diagnosed with cancer, saying and doing the 'right' things can be tricky. 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. 

 

Our electronic informative guide was developed by The Silk Rags Project in collaboration with Dr Vanette McLennan from Griffith University and Australian Cancer Research Foundation.
