If it's someone you know personally just being supportive and helping if they need it. More generally you can volunteer with hospitals, the American Cancer Society, or hospice.

You know, one way is to just be there for them. Having cancer isn't easy and a lot of people give up before they even had a chance to fight. Here's my advise: Stay with them through the journey, no matter where it goes and help them stay strong. Give them constant encouragement and laughs. Laughter can heal.

Be there for them, don't abandon them. Like me, I'm always there for my friend :) I support his dream, I told him that I loved him and that he could make his dream into reality. In a nutshell, the best thing we can do to people with cancer is showing our love, showing that we care

Cancer is a hard thing to come by but, one thing that can really help is just being there for them. They like to be treated like normal people and not like they are sick. So try to be there for them in the best way possible. Just go with them to hold there hand or make them laugh or just be there for them in general. Supporting them is the best thing anyone can do.

Volunteer at the cancer unit at your local hospital. This will give you an opportunity to support people with certain cancers. Your smile can go a long way. Best wishes. - Nate

My great grandmother passed away from bone cancer 12 years ago, now. I helped her by being there as often as I could, and whenever she wanted me there.
