What to Say to Someone Who Has Cancer

I never get tired of hearing: "I'm so sorry to hear that", "That sucks", and most of all "Let me know if there's anything I can do". I never get tired of hearing "I love you", "Don't hesitate to ask", "Call me any time", and "We're here for you" (or as my friend Clay said "we've got your back!"). I got a little teary when my company human resources person called to say that my health comes first and that work was a very distant second, followed by "Let me know if there's anything I can do."
