How Do You Tell Someone They Are Dying of Cancer

Nobody wants to tell someone else that they are going to die and there is no easy way to tell someone that their treatments have failed and/or they are going to die from cancer. Nobody wants to tell a cancer patient they have a terminal or incurable cancer and it's only a matter of a short time. It's never been easy to tell people of horrific future events in their lives. And someone who is too blunt with a terminal cancer patient may find quite a bit of reflex and reactionary emotion coming back at them. An outburst filled with hostility, anger and pure hate.
