7 Things Not to Say to a Friend With Cancer {Guest post at P&R Publishing}

October 13, 2018 by Marissa Leave a Comment

 

Have you ever wondered what not to say to a friend with cancer? Maybe you know what NOT to say, but you aren’t sure what to say instead. I tackle this challenge head-on in a recent article I wrote for my publisher’s blog. Check it out here! Also, P&R is running a sale on Loving Your Friend through Cancer through October 31 in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. You’ll find the coupon code and a link to the book at the end of the article.

Loving Your Friend Through Cancer ~ A live interview with Marketers on a Mission

October 9, 2018 by Marissa Leave a Comment

Last week I had the privilege of doing a Facebook live interview with Patricia Durgin from Marketers on a Mission. Patricia helps Christian writers and speakers succeed online with a daily Facebook live show, and last week she hosted a special breast cancer awareness week. I was thrilled to be able to share God’s story of faithfulness to me during my battle with angiosarcoma and discuss how we can support our friends with cancer. You can check out the replay from YouTube here!

I’m grateful to be this week’s guest on the Equipping You In Grace podcast with Dave Jenkins. I hope you’ll check out our conversation about Loving Your Friend through Cancer! And if you enjoy listening to thoughtful people discuss important topics, listen to some of his other episodes, too. I especially enjoyed this conversation with Jen Wilkin!

Note: There were audio issues with this podcast recording. If you’d rather read the interview, I answered many of the same questions in written form on their website – click here to read the interview!

When Someone You Care About Has Cancer {Video conversation with Suzie Eller}

July 26, 2018 by Marissa Leave a Comment

This week I’m excited to share a video conversation I had with my friend Suzie Eller. Suzie is an author, writer, speaker, and host to a beautiful community of women living free together in Christ. I hope you’ll check out our conversation and all the resources she offers on her site!

From Suzie’s post:

She’s too young. . . Maybe that’s what you think when your friend tells you she has cancer. You want to fix it. You want to love her well. You are afraid. You want to scream that it’s unfair. All of these are natural responses.

When Marissa Henley was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer the day before her 34th birthday, it stunned her. That began a battle that she didn’t ask for.

In today’s Living Free Together conversation, Marissa shares how friends supported her and made her battle a little less lonely.
