How can I help people with cancer?

I think after the new research that has been discovered about cancer, a huge part of the process and recovery of cancer is maintaining a positive attitude. If you want to help people with cancer, being a positive influence in their life could go a very long way!

RESEARCH. Ignorance when it comes to people's diseasees is horrendous. Support. care .. Share the love... Do not over protect them.. Be kind and patient

helping someone with cancer is a big responsibility but its also a great thing, though 7 cups of tea doesnt recommend helping their members by giving them advice but rather just listening. Its always good to motivate a cancer patient by showing them how they can get through this and reassuring them that there not alone in this fight but we are here to help them, we are here to walk with them on this journey.

Visiting your local hospital and comforting the cancer patients would be a great start. I don't think you can really find a way to cure cancer unless you're involved with one of those huge study groups, but start out with visiting them!

I have a papa dying of cancer right now, I try to help them live the best of what they can. I try to talk to him much as possible, tell him I love him and support him in the best ways I can.

I can't help people with cancer,I'm not a doctor,but I can get you through it,impossible is just a big word thrown around by small people,if you have cancer the only thing I can tell you is fight through it,fight as hard as you can because life will throw everything it gots toward you.

The best way to help someone with cancer is to give them emotional support. They often are overwhelmed with a variety of negative emotions whether its fear or depression etc. Simply showing them you care and are there for them makes a difference.

Offering someone an ear to talk to can really go a long way. There are many different support groups and organizations available to do this, as well as just interacting with people in your personal life who may be fighting cancer. As a personal example when my I found out my Aunt had stage 4 Breast Cancer, another one of my close friends nephew was also diagnosed with Leukemia. In support and solidarity for them both I shaved my head. Additionally here is a link to some resources about cancer support,http://www.cancer.org/treatment/supportprogramsservices/index

You could try volunteering in a hospital, and request to be assigned to a cancer ward. Most hospitals have plenty of volunteer opportunities for people who're interested, though you might not be guaranteed a chance to work with cancer patients. You could also raise money to donate to one of the many cancer related charities.

Be there for them. Comfort them and be there to listen to them. Look after yourself too whilst going through something traumatic such as this.
