what do you tell a friend who has cancer?

I would tell I am here for you, if you need to go to the doctors with when no one else can But most of all I love you

I would be scared for her at first and feel really bad but then I would be strong for her.I would tell her that I would be there for her whenever she needed me. And that we would get through it together. I also have this poem that I would have my boyfriend woodburn a plaque of for her to hang on her wall. here is the poem... What Cancer Cannot Do Author Unknown Cancer is so limited--- It cannot cripple love It cannot shatter hope It cannot corrode faith It cannot destroy peace It cannot kill friendship It cannot suppress memories It cannot silence courage It cannot invade the soul It cannot steal eternal life It cannot conquer the spirit.

I would tell them I would be there for them all the way.I would want them to know that they are loved.

"Just pray and miracle can happen..." I should be strong enough to let her know that somebody cares. We, friends of cancer patients, should show toughness in these rough times because we are their only hope and inspiration. They get strength from us.

Better not to talk about his/her disease. Any other other thing will do. I would make him/her feel as if no cancer at all. Take him to good companions, travels or any places that could enlighten his/her mind and stop thinking of his/her disease at all.

I don't know what to say. Words could never express how I feel other then to say I'm sorry and ask if she's getting any treatment. I would then hug her and tell her I hope she gets better and that the cancer goes into remission or disappears. I do not think I should ask how long she has to live. That would be kind of crash.

Having lost a dear friend through bone cancer and watching her go down so quick, thinking back I never really said anything to her, but was just there supporting her family as to hard to talk about it and it never really came up! Also a sister in law from brain tumor, once again do not remember talking about it much with her either, just there to support. Some people find it hard to say anything so support and listening to them and how they felt was about it!

Whatever happens, just think positive.....we have the greatest ally from above.

i honestly don't know what i would say. i've never been good in situations like that. and there is know way i could put myself in their shoes and know what they are feeling. I would be very supportive of my friend and do whatever I could to make things easier.

Oh gosh i don't know what i would tell her. Maybe i'll just support and comfort because in her condition she might be physically, emotionally and mentally weak so i guess i'll be by her side comforting her.

I'll definitely stay with my friend throughout the treatment.I'll tell my friend it's cancer and it's treatable.never give up,there's always a treatment.

be strong.
