I have cancer. What MOST people said to me was--believe it or not!--"I had an uncle (or aunt or cousin or whatever) who died of that kind of cancer.

What I liked to hear--"That sucks. How are you handling it?"

As a cancer survivor I agree with AbiRu. We all know how dreadful it can be. There are too many incredibly sad stories that people are too anxious to share.
