This article is from yesterday's WSJ- the paragraph below jumped out at me as what i consider to be the most helpful to cancer survivors. David
"You should also ask exactly what type of help your loved one needs. You can offer to pick up groceries, provide transportation or return phone calls. And don't be deterred if your offer of help is declined. People who are diagnosed with a major illness often don't know what they will need at first. In addition, accepting help can be frightening for people accustomed to being independent. Keep offering help."
