How can I help people with cancer?

Support them! (This may be a scary time for them) Research about how to help theres loads of sites.

Well, celebrities dress up for cancer patients or they do fun things like paint nails or sing with them. You can do this stuff too. Even if they don't make it ( :( ), they had a fun time when he/she was still there.

Just being supportive is great, especially when it comes to physical ailments, physical ailments can lead to many mental changes, and most of the time in cases like cancer or other terminal diseases, support and compassion is all someone needs to get through the day at hand.

Support them. Show them that you care and you will be there for them no matter what they are doing. You an do this by helping them or guiding them as much as possible.

I have been in your situation and all you can do is be there for the person and know that you care for them

I don't think that there is much you can do to help them. The best thing you can do to help them is to support them and to be there for them.

Be as supporting as you possibly can, its unbelievably distressing for those involved, don't treat them any different they are still the same person and always will be.

mental support is the best thing, support them, never leave, always give positive vibe so they will fight their cancer

This questions seems to be very hard. It depends on the person itself. Somebody needs more sensitive support some of them not. To my opinion one of the most important things is to be empathic. Don't give them the feeling of beeing very sick. Spend them energy, strength and your power. Integrate them into life. Let them work, or study or doing housework (as much there able to of course). Spend them hope. Because hope is one of the most powerful thing in life that people can spend.

Be there for them. Let them know they're not alone. Don't treat them like they are their illness. In other words, let them know that even though they have cancer, you don't think any less of them.
