Hi Tonya,

Here are my suggestions for what they are worth.

Offer to talk with them about their cancer, or about the weather, but talk with them.

Offer to help with research to find the best doctor or treatment course.

Offer to drive them to their doctor, treatment, or the grocery store.

Offer to have a cup of tea with them (green is best), a sandwich, or an ice cream cone.

Offer to pray with them for their recovery or to go with them to their church or synagogue.

Offer to go for a walk with them, or take their dog for a walk.

Offer them your cell phone number and tell them no time is bad for them to call for any reason.

Let them know that they are not alone in their battle.
