What would you do if you found out that a work colleague's child was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor?

I can't give details, but she's grade school aged, too young for that shit. I wanna help but I dunno how.

I am so glad that President Trump signed the bill called "The right to try".
It overrides any conventional treatments for dying people and the doctors try everything that is available to give the dying patient one last chance without any road blocks stopping doctors from throwing everything they can to use to keep the patient alive and get better even.

I bet most people aren't even aware that he signed that bill for dying children and other folks in need.

He truly is the epitome of an excellent President and human being! 👏

How close are you to this colleague? I had a classmate who was diagnosed and the parents took up a collection to help the kids' parents out. We also started a support group for the parents (small town, small PTA, a few of the parents were medical specialists, some teachers who would bring books and stuff home to tutor the kid so she didn't fall behind, etc. etc.).

We are a small company, so not as close as friends, but close enough that I want to donate a gift card, so I did.

Yeah, if the person confides in you or another team member just roll with it also, even if it’s not something you can help with. Sometimes just listening is a big help.

give them my condolences and offer support. tho luckily i live in germany, where we have a health care system that won't let you die just cause you are poor.

All I could, which is pray for them and then donate to help them pay for medical bills.

[worldscolide]

Exactly what I'm doing. Wish I could do more.
