I don't think there are any "right words". I'd say just talk to her like normal...just be a friend. Be there if she wants to talk. Let her steer the conversation there if she wants. There's no magic thing you can say to make it any better. Just keep being a friend.

Man, that's rough. My best advice is, be the shoulder she can cry on, and let her know that you'll be there for her.

I’m that friend.
They trust you, no doubt. Just be patient and be there. As time passes you will become more confident in yourself and what you discuss with them. You’re a great person or they wouldn’t have shared it with you. sec |

Have real, honest conversations. Help her look into things that help fight cancer like turkey tail mushrooms and olive oil. Hell, help her come up with meals and snacks that don't taste like ass and have this or that property in reeruning cancer.
It's a good excuse to try foods that are actually good for you. And let's be honest, there's a good number of us here who'll be meeting this particular stranger sooner than we think... |
