How to Help a Friend With Cancer - Tune in for Hope With Lori HopeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I've certainly inserted my foot in my mouth when talking to my loved ones with cancer. I'm guilty of making well-meaning comments, that later make me cringe. Do you ever wonder what to say - or what NOT to say - to someone living with cancer? Do you know what it takes to help a friend coping with cancer? Thankfully, someone very special to me can give us a few clues; ideas on what people living with cancer want to hear, and what words are best left unvoiced. Lung cancer survivor - or "breath cancer survivor" as she terms it, Lori Hope has a calling true to her name. Having walked a mile in the shoes of a cancer patient - ...

Medical Marijuana Cut Some SlackEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
With over 14 million people in the U.S. using pot at least monthly for recreational purposes, what's the problem with using it as a medicine? Oh yeah -- it's a federal crime. But it looks like the feds are going to cut it some slack - at least when the drug is used for medical reasons alone. On a local level, 14 states have already legalized the medical use of marijuana, although the use and sale has still been subject to federal prosecution. President Obama has now implemented a policy that federal prosecutors stop targeting people who are using or selling medical marijuana, when it is done so within the boundaries of st...
