Show Notes
Ben Davies, a counsellor based at Forest Holme Hospice, talks about how to support a friend or loved-one who has received a cancer diagnosis.
He explains how to begin conversations about cancer in a way that is supportive and respectful, as well as the challenges faced when someone is in denial or refusing treatment, while offering tips to offer support without being intrusive or impacting their own emotional wellbeing.
