      agree w/ pretzl , and keep in touch. A little card w/ short note inside is a great way to say "I'm thinking about you". You might be surprised at how much comfort that can bring to someone who'se hurting.

        I certainly hate that your friends have been dealt this card in their lives. I hope that the care he receives will be of benefit to him and his chances will improve dramatically and a remission or complete riddance of the cancer will come out of it.

        I agree with the above thoughts. Letting her know that you are there for her and thinking of her will be a great comfort.

          All you can do is be there for them and like Pretz said, listen....

          A card, phone call, e-mail, just let them know they are in your thoughts.

              like the others have said before, just be there for her and her husband, each person reacts and deals with such news and a diagnosis in different ways and they will both go through different stages, and their need of you as a friend will change. Someone to be angry at the world with, someone to rationalise with, someone to provide a shoulder to cry on. Or they may not discuss cancer and the diagnosis at all, just be open and receptive to them, and the best friend you can be. All the best to you and your friends
