Talk to them about their expericance and make sure that they do not feel alone. I want them to know that i am here for them and that they are safe to talk about yheir feelings,fears, and all other things if they are comfortable.

People with cancer just need words of encouragement and someone to listen and understand. So just do all those things and you will already be helping them.

By being there for them. Give some encouragement and empathy and lots of care, this will make them feel wanted and loved and give them a reason to fight it back.

You can help by being there and supporting them. It is hard when someone suffers with a disease as devastating as that. Most people who have cancer will understand that you cant always empathise with them, but you can always be there to help when they need it :)

You can help them by being there for them (in case is someone close or someone you can get close to) or you can help them by helping with funds they are getting in order to get their treatments to get better

I have found that people with cancer find it easier to talk to you when you tell them that you know what they are going through based on the experience of a close friend or family member. The people who deal with cancer are strong and take solace in the strong community they have.

I have only known one person with cancer and she is a very close friend of mine that I have known for almost 20 years now. The best way I feel that I can help her is by being a good friend to her and listening if she needs a supportive, loving ear.

Support them. Support them just as you would someone going through any other tough time, because that's what it is- A very tough time.
