What do you do when one of your family members tells you that their cancer came back, that it is agressive, and that they have mere weeks (to months) to live?
When I found out I might have cancer life changed a lot. I don't have cancer now but will likely have it at some point in my life. But what helped me the most from friends was simply being there and having fun with me. Normalizing life was really what I wanted. There was a recent movie called 50/50 with Joseph Gordon Leavitt and Seth Rogen about JGL getting Cancer. I connected with it a lot but Seth Rogen's character did basically the best things he could do, just being the same person he was before the cancer.
Cancer changes parts of life but it shouldn't change all parts of life, because people with cancer still want their life to be fun. Good luck.
