“So this happened to me”
It’s OK to talk about yourself and share good news about your life with your friend or loved one, so if you got that promotion, your kid did well at school or you just bought a new car–tell them. Firstly, they’ll want to hear about your success and secondly, it’ll probably be a welcome reprieve from all the cancer talk. You can also share the bad things as well, because they care about you as well.
