    How to Help a Friend with Cancer

    When I invited Lori and Sheryl to contribute to our Real Women on Health! community, I was struck by my naivite about talking to a loved one or friend who is coping with a cancer diagnosis.

    But,  that’s no longer.


    I was with  my dad when he was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia, a rare leukemia that is partially curable with Gleevec.  In last month since his diagnosis, I’ve struggled to find a way to talk to him about anything…without being overly concerned or too dismissive, too humorous and too serious.

    I’m feeling like there’s no perfect way to talk to a loved one or friend and much guilt about my own apparent health…. at least for today.


    So, it was with relief when Sheryl Kraft outreached to me to see how we could collaborate on an upcoming radio show on how to help a friend with cancer.  As a breast cancer survivor of many years and women’s health writer and advocate at HealthyWoman.org, Sheryl was enthusiastic about helping friends talk with their friends who might have just been diagnosed..or are in the throes of a long, active treatment cycle for any type of cancer.


    Sheryl suggested we contact Lori Hope, Lung Cancer Survivor, and Author of “Help Me Live:  20 Things People with Cancer Want You to Know”.


    Always the filmmaker, one of Lori’s first thoughts after being diagnosed with lung cancer was, “I should make a documentary about this.”   When her therapist urged her to deal with the disease first and worry about documenting her journey later, Lori dropped the idea. But soon after, when a well-meaning friend said something to Lori that made her extremely anxious and when people continually asked her whether she had smoked, she thought "Someone really ought to write a book about what people with cancer need others to know!"


    About nine months later, Ten Speed Press publisher Kirsty Melville took Lori's seminar on documentary production at Bay Area Video Coalition in San Francisco, and asked Lori whether she had ever considered writing a book. After several meetings, Help Me Live started to come to life.

     

    Published by Celestial Arts, an imprint of Ten Speed Press, Help Me Live: 20 Things People with Cancer Want You to Know, tells intimate stories of words and actions that have made a tremendous difference to people with cancer. Designed to help caregivers, friends, and loved ones of cancer patients and survivors communicate more effectively and compassionately, Help Me Live does not prescribe behavior, but encourages compassion, respect, and listening.

     

    Join Lori, Sheryl and Kelley in a "kitchen table conversation" and share your own story, struggles and victories in helping your friend with cancer of any kind.

    Getting Past the Boobs: An Open Letter to the Breast Cancer Advocacy Community

    We’ve watched the ad and witnessed the controversy.  Now, we’re asking: “What’s next?”


    Earlier this year, Rethink Breast Cancer released a memorable and infamous public service announcement (PSA) that was seen around the world.  Produced with the visual and sensual focus on “boobs” – specifically those of Aliya Jasmine, host of MTV Canada – it quickly became the subject of heated and passionate commentary.  Some suggested that it was overly sexualized, male-focused and objectified women.  Others argued that the PSA breathed fresh life into a breast cancer communications strategy that has become tired, unappealing and unrealistic.


    The Rethink PSA was successful because it reminded us that, yes, breast cancer has a sexual component. Women like Ms. Jasmine who are between the ages of 20 – 49, are regularly diagnosed with breast cancer.  They not only deal with the physical impact of a breast cancer diagnosis, but they must navigate the sexual issues associated with the disease.  For example, the actress Christina Applegate decided to have a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer last year.  She has openly discussed the impact of her decision on her relationship with her boyfriend and body image.


    Rethink’s PSA was memorable, but we can’t afford to let the conversation begin and end with boobs.  We need to find ways to grab the attention of young men who are impacted by breast cancer, but don’t think about it much.  We need to boldly and forthrightly talk about the intimacy issues associated with a breast cancer diagnosis.  We need to bring people wedded to traditional breast cancer awareness strategies together with those who have decided to tear up the playbook.


    It’s time to have a candid conversation about “what’s next” in breast cancer awareness communications.  We believe the following questions must be addressed more broadly:

    • How can we develop initiatives that acknowledge the sexual health issues associated with breast cancer while fully embracing women’s bodies in a larger context?
    • What can we do to move past (or leverage) “shock and awe” campaigns and generate meaningful action?

    • What do we need to do to get young men more involved in the fight against breast cancer?

    Consider this an open invitation to men, health influencers and women’s health advocates to continue the conversation about issues raised by the Save the Boobs PSA in an open forum.


    There are three ways you can help.

    1. Spread the word about this open letter via your on and offline social networks (blog, tweet, chat and talk about it)
    2. Signal your support for this open letter by leaving your virtual signature below
    3. Participate in a conversation on this issue with Kelley Connors’ through her online talk show, Real Women on Health. We’re looking for input from representatives of breast cancer awareness organizations like the Susan Komen Foundation and Rethink.  Once we get enough interest, we’ll schedule the program.  (We’ll know you’re interested if you Tweet, blog and comment about this letter.)

    Thank you in advance for your attention and support.
