Eftychia Tataridou: Choosing the Right Words After a Glioblastoma Diagnosis

Eftychia Tataridou, Medical Doctor at Theageneio Anticancer Hospital of Thessaloniki, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“After a difficult diagnosis, many times we don’t know what to say. And in our attempt to help, we may say something that ultimately does not help.

A few phrases that might be worth rethinking – and some more meaningful ways to stand by a person with glioblastoma.

Because the way we speak also matters.

(The phrases are based on principles of oncological communication, empathy, and psychosocial support.)”
