I disagree completely with other posters.
When someone’s life is in danger, you go straight to the life-saving options. But then my husband and I are in medicine and scientific research, so this is obvious for us.

You passed along the important info, OP, and that’s all that matters! She will do what she can with it. Lung cancer has a poor outlook.

I’m sure her doctor has it all covered. She didn’t need advice, she needed an ear. [/quote]

PP you replied to. Please never think that! For your own survival and that of your loved ones. Doctors are human too, and most do not have the time to keep up with the latest research. This is why you always get a second (or third) opinion in serious cases, and you seek referrals to reputable specialists who do keep abreast of developments (or sometimes lead developments, if they're clinical researchers like my husband).

I know this forum is heavily biased towards women lending an ear, but there are times you need to actually provide info as well. Nothing bars you from doing both.
In this particular case, it seems as if OP was just about done with this person, so she didn't invest a ton of listening - but she covered the most important thing.

You have some valid points but you need to be aware of when and how to provide information for said information provide benefit--and this is assuming your information is relevant and appropriate to the person's situation. And if the person responds badly, you do not decide to f-her for not being appreciative.
