Too many people dont understand how serious cancer can be and think its easily fixed which sometimes it is. Others will reach out grasping for straws trying to find an easy cure which there isnt one. Help your friend by explaining things to them so if it ever happens to them or someone close in their family they wont go running off after false cures.
