<p>Looking back on my experience of being sick with <strong>cancer and its treatments</strong>, I thought about how many people reacted to me in such surprising ways.   Some disappeared, later sharing that they had <strong>felt so helpless and awkward.</strong></p>
<p>I wondered if that had been the experience of others who had gone through the same thing, so I asked.</p>
<p>It was, and out of that, interviews were conducted and this book was born&#8230; <span style="color: #0000ff;">What Should I Do, What Should I Say?</span></p>
<p>It seems that people want to <strong>know how best to help those with cancer</strong> and overcome their awkward feelings.  This book is meant to help them and those they interact with.</p>
<p>After researching my options, I chose to become a publishing company and self-publish this book.</p>
