As a friend or family member to a person in cancer treatment, you know to be supportive. But exactly how to do that may seem confusing at times. The American Cancer Society and other organizations offer a wide variety of information and materials to help you understand cancer and its physical and psychological impact — even on you.

The following three booklets, recommended by Look Good…Feel Better staff, are available free from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by calling 1-800-4-CANCER. Or visit the National Cancer Institute Web site to learn more.
