I have a friend--an acquaintance really--whose husband was diagnosed w/liver cancer. It is not looking good, although they are going ahead with chemotherapy. My question is, what can I do to help? I have told her several times, "Please let me know if there is anything I can do", but I doubt she will actually take me up on my offer. I feel so helpless...there must be some way to help, right? The family is currently out of state and will be for some time (for the treatment) so there's nothing I can do close by. Any ideas?

I will second the suggestions you have received here.

 

Also, I would suggest sending texts, e-mails, cards, letters to your friend. If she is out-of-state for her husband's treatment, she is probably very lonely for friend talk. No one is picking her up right now, especially if she is out-of-sight/out-of-mind for her friends/support. Just keep it light and supportive.

 

Thanks for wanting to help.
