[quote=Anonymous]They might be in a similar situation or know someone who is. They might have researched it themselves for various reasons and want to make sure your relative is on the right track. They might be a busy body. They might think you want to talk about it. They might be socially awkward. They might like those medical mystery articles. They might be a cancer researcher or close to someone who is. So many reasons. I think what's key is what you say. "Thanks for showing your concern. Your questions make me wonder if this is a subject you're personally familiar with." Is one way to find out where they're coming from. Or simply, "why do you ask?" Or if you don't want to talk about it, it's fine to say, "they have great doctors looking out for them. What's new in your life?"[/quote]
