SUPPORT SUPPORT SUPPORT. You may not be able to cure their cancer, but you can most definitely support and care for them by just understanding what they are going through. Put yourself in their shoes and see things from their perspective! They'll need to know that you're there for them no matter what happens.

I think that it is important for people who are probably facing death, that you surround them with positive things and love as much as possible. It's important to distract them from whats going on, but also to be there when they are in a bad mood to talk about the serious things.

You can listen to them, you can bring them to their doctor's appointments if you are comfortable doing that, you can bring them foods they can eat and you can provide respite for their primary caregivers.

You can try looking around at places like hospitals, treatment centers, nursing homes, nursing centers, community senior centers, and such. Look around your local community and ask to see if they accept any volunteers or ask what you can do to help those who have the condition. Good Luck!

By encourage them that they are not TOTAL hopeless. There are people who survived cancer, and I think we are all don't know when we're going to die. So, people with cancer and no cancer both have the same hope to live.

Often hospices (not just for people with cancer though) will have voluntary opportunities. If you mean family/friends, you can listen to them, validate their emotions and fears, help on a practical level eg. Offer to childmind so they can spend time relaxing and getting better. Offer to cook meals or clean the house and above all do not let your fears and uncertainty cloud the friendship, they are not their illness.

Love ,care and affection will be more useful than spending huge amounts of money to help in the treatments. that is also necessary but if you really want to help, you should be able to give him hope, build up hope and confidence in him/her to live.

Be by their side as much as possible. If it is a cancer that is too far along and not operable, ask them, kindly after they have embraced the happening, if there is anything they would like to do that would help them be more comfortable and happy. Try to get ther friends and family as close as possible to them. Surround them with things they enjoy. Be nice, be kind, and be by their side every step of the way. Show them love.
