| People often walk through the doors of the Cancer Resource Centers of Mendocino County (CRCMC) with questions. Many of these are related to helping a loved one go through the journey that comes with a cancer diagnosis. “What can I do to assist? How can I comfort him/her? How can I try to understand what this person is going through?” These questions are very typical for anyone who is confronted with a sick loved one, whether the diagnosis is cancer or not.

so happy to be here and so happy to see you.” This diversionary
tactic shifts the focus from my health to the other person’s
life, which is usually so busy and full that s/he doesn’t
