Next up in the series of What to Say (or Not to Say) to someone with FBC revolves around chemo.

I do know this, which is why I’m offering alternative things for people to say to/do for their friends and loved ones (Silver Lining).
So, here is a gentle suggestion of something to say that is incredibly supportive and doesn’t include “only” and “chemo” in the same sentence. For the record, “only” and “chemo” should never be in the same sentence. Just sayin’…
