I recently learned that a dear friend has an aggressive form of cancer. She is starting treatment soon. I don’t know much about what dealing with cancer is like, so I thought I’d ask for people’s experience here.

    When I had cancer, my entire workplace came together and did several things for me:

    1. Bought me a Dyson vacuum.
    2. Purchased 3 months worth of frozen dinners from a local place that made and delivered fully prepared frozen meals that you can just throw in the oven.
    3. Sometimes people would take my kids to and from school for me when I wasn’t up to it, for about a month.

    My sister and brother in law came over and cleaned my house for me, my Dad would take my kids over the weekend all the time.

    Thankfully, I’m still here 20 years later, all my kids are grown and are wonderful people.

    I am so thankful for all the help everyone gave me.
