This came up via Pocket a few days ago for me. My son has cancer, and we have been immensely glad that we cut off Facebook, etc. years ago because the amount of “advice” we have gotten has been exhausting even without it. Another thing that the author doesn’t touch on but has been a constant issue for us is: what did we do to cause/deserve this. The secret there is: likely nothing you had control over. Could you have intercepted the factor that made the cell mutation happen? Possibly, but it was likely innocuous and nothing that you would have known. Nevertheless, the self doubt, questioning, and guilt remain.
