Your Friend Has Cancer
by Dahlia Cedarbaum
It’s really tough to know how to act, and how to help, when a friend is diagnosed with cancer. Especially if you’re a teen or young adult and have no experience with serious illness. Some people find it so difficult, they end up ghosting their best friends rather than facing the discomfort. Others manage to step up and show up. Host Dahlia Cedarbaum spent almost a year in the hospital with an aggressive form of leukemia when she was 17 years old. In this podcast, she talks to friends and other cancer survivors about what friendship can look like under the most dire of circumstances. You’ll learn how to get over your fears, so that you can make a difference in the life of your really sick friend, and deepen your friendship along the way.

In this episode I talk with two of my best friends. They got me through a year in the hospital with my sanity intact, so I wanted to find out how my cancer affected them. I ask how they seemed to just know what to do after I was diagnosed, and how they managed to be the most amazing, caring, fun friends a terribly sick teenager could hope for.
