What Lymphoma Patients Want Others to Know
Be understanding
Dealing with cancer is physically and mentally taxing. Some cancer patients may be particularly irritable or sensitive as a result. It can be difficult to deal with someone who is constantly on edge, but you just have to remember why they are feeling the way they are. You don't necessarily need to walk on eggshells when talking to them, but you should remember that even if they snap at you for a minor grievance, it is likely that they are really just overwhelmed by their condition.
