How To Help A Friend With Cancer: Best Practices and Ideas

When my friend was diagnosed with cervical cancer years ago, it was the first time I had tried to serve someone with a critical diagnosis. Honestly, because of my anxiety, I was a clueless and unhelpful bystander other than praying. I froze and regretfully did nothing. I wish someone had given me a list of pragmatic ways to serve.

It wasn’t until my own mother-in-law had lung cancer that I began to understand from the inside how to be more useful.

Market Value

Randy and Elsie noticed the hives and dry skin from chemotherapy and how Baby Catie would scratch and bleed. None of the market lotions or creams worked – they made it worse.

Elsie started researching online and found that goat milk is the exact pH as human skin. This got her thinking, Could goat’s milk be the answer for Catie’s scratching?

When God gives you more than you can handle, what you do with it is up to you. So when I come across a story like Elsie’s, laced with sadness and tragedy, and the result is goodness and willingness to help others, it touches my soul. This is a story of Christ winning against all odds once again.
