What do you suggest if my friend has cancer. how can i help him?

Be there: Cancer is an isolating diagnosis, to both patients, their family and friends. Many people do not know what to say to those dealing with cancer and therefore distance themselves. First, try to help your friend understand diagnosis and treatment options, especially if he has little support. Second, spend time with him and make some time to talk about something other than cancer.
