@, I'm sorry to attend on your friend's diagnosis. It's definitely a difficult situation, however it's great that you're looking for methods to assist them. I think the important is to let them know that you're there for them in whatever capacity they need. Possibly something like, i'm below for you through every step of this journey. Whether you need somebody to talk to, a shoulder to lean on, or only some distraction, I'm only a call or text ual content away.

Maybe you could on top personalize your message based on your friend's interests or hobbies to show that you're thinking of them as an individual, not only as somebody with cancer.

@, I consider it's also important to acknowledge the reality of the situation without becoming overly pessimistic. Your friend may possibly already be acquiring a lot of messages filled with pity or sorrow, so offering them some positivity and hope could be exactly uplifting. something like, i know here's a challenging period, but I believe in your intensity and resilience. You are not solo in this fight, and I'm below to support you however I can.
