Friends, with good intentions or otherwise, often rush to fill the void with opinions, advice, or stories meant to ease the pain or provide clarity. Sometimes it helps.

When it comes to health, honesty isn’t just the best policy—it’s essential. Yet so many patients hold back key details out of embarrassment, fear of judgment, or the mistaken belief that it’s not important.
