["My friend has been struggling through treatments for colon cancer. I am trying to be as supportive and helpful as I can. I try to go to every chemotherapy treatment she gets since her family isn't nearby.", "Aww, that's terrible but good she has you. I have had many family members that had that fight.", 'How did you encourage them?  I try to be compassionate and uplifting but finding the right combination is tough.']
It really is. I found being positive is key and you're probably more helpful than you realize. Even though you feel it's not exactly right, doesn't hurt to ask too.
