Key Messages From "Cancer is a diagnosis that concerns the whole family"
When one person in the family has cancer, the whole family can be affected by the diagnosis.
Finding common threads of experience for both the patient and family can help everyone move along the same direction.
There are always going to be differences and, at times, there may be different hopes and concerns. It’s important to share these feelings.
