As a fellow cancer patient, I watched the Princess of Wales’ honesty about her cancer diagnosis with gratefulness, admiration and huge respect. She has already made an incredible impact in instilling the need to recognise the early symptoms of cancer and waste no time in seeking medical help.
But her impact mustn’t stop there. The next cancer taboo I’d like to break down? How to talk, openly, honestly and frankly to friends or family members who have it — even when life is busy, complicated and you’re not sure if they want to hear from you or not (spoiler: they always do).
