Chris: How was it with you guys when you found out you had cancer? How did that affect your friendship Will, with Seth?

Will: I think when I had cancer it definitely brought us closer

Seth: Yes. I think at the time none of these decisions were conscious,

but in retrospect I look back and think just the fact that I didn’t disappear was a very helpful thing for Will I think

Seth: A lot of people did just disappear, and although I didn’t really know what the right thing to say was,

I don’t think there is a right thing to say often

I just think the fact that I was present and hung out with Will.

Will: There was never a day that Seth was not there

and I think looking back on it I am incredibly grateful and appreciative.

We didn’t know how to talk about it.

There were times that Seth may have said things that were maybe the wrong thing, or I probably said things

Seth: Horribly hurtful!

Will: Horribly hurtful! Though I mean looking back, the situations I went through during that time

and the fact that I had Seth and his support was great for our friendship

Seth: I think some people are afraid they are going to say the wrong thing so they just don’t. They just avoid the people almost

Seth: I was not afraid of saying the wrong thing (laughs) and did often

Will: I think what we have discovered is that everyone feels like they have to say the right thing

and there’s a lot of pressure when you are confronted with a friend or family member who has cancer

Will: I think what we learnt that no matter what, you are going to say the wrong thing,

and you’re going to do the wrong thing and you are never going to nail it

You’re never going to do or say it perfectly. So I feel like if you can just take a step back and laugh at yourself

for your own inability - because it’s just very human – we make mistakes and it’s important to acknowledge that.
