How tender your heart must be. For one, don’t stop calling or seeing your friend. Their world could get quite small. Not because people don’t care but they don’t know what to do. Just make sure they know, more than once, that you are there for them.
Warm fun socks and a wonderful blanket are great gifts. So is homemade (or not!) soup and perhaps a journal for them to write in with inspiring thoughts for each day. If you are close enough as friends, definitely encourage a second opinion. Make sure they get to a liver and pancreas center of renown.
I presented as stage IV. All cases are different but the support and prayers of my friends and family gave me perseverance and hope.
