You can help her by being there for. Even if you aren't close in miles you can listen to her. Encourage her. Try and keep her spirits up. I dont know where you are, but there is something called Cancer Treatment Centers of America, that help people when other doctors have had they said they have no hope. Maybe recommend that your friend looks into them? Part of the battle with cancer is trying to stay positive.

And know that while you are trying to support her. We are here are here to support you. ((((Theswayy)))) Will be thinking of you and your friend.

thank you hollyann i think its important to say i am SwarthV8 incase i shouldnt be here then just say so and i'll stop coming to this forum
thank you for the advice, i dont know i love her and never lost someone close to me so this is going to be a new and hard experiance for me

she always suffered with depression aswell but i would always joke around with her,that would make her feel better now that just wont work,if she knows she is going to die soon then its not easy to comfort her pity she is an athiest because then i cant comfort her with the thought of an afterlife thank you for your reply though
