[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A person who you are acquainted with knows that your close relative has been dx with cancer. You are out with dinner with a v small group, there are 4 of you together, and they ask these questions: What stage? Who is the oncologist? How did you find the doc? What treatment? What hospital? For how long? Which medicines? If it helps with context, the person is a boomer from NYC. I can’t gauge if this was genuine or rude behavior.[/quote] I worked in cancer and would probably ask these questions if I cared about the sick person or you. I sent a number of people into clinical trials as I knew more about treatment advances than their suburban doctors. But I probably wouldn't ask at a dinner as it is a bummer and I can pick up social cues, so if the person was uncomfortable, I would stop. But I think it is kind of weird that you are so suspect of people who you are having dinner with.[/quote]
