Here are five things you should never say to a cancer patient:
1. My aunt/friend/neighbour had breast cancer... and then she died."
2. "If you had done X, Y and Z/ not done A, B and C then maybe you would not have got cancer."
3. "Eating A, B, C can cure cancer."
4. "If I was in your situation then I would..."
5. " It's only your hair"
