any tips on cheering up a cancer patient?

A bit of normality helps. You are not helping if you avoid accepting your grandmother's fear. Bring flowers, talk about whatever you talked about when she was well. Be sure that the doctor is fully aware of her pain.

I went through it w/ my Mom & there's not much you can do, it's a very hard situation & I really feel for you & your family. I will keep you in my prayers. I requested a prayer blanket from this place http://blanketministry.org/RequestPB.aspx and had it sent to my Moms address, they sent it & it made her feel good. She's in Heaven now, I believe, and I now have the blanket to cherish even though it's also a reminder of sadness. All you can really do is let her enjoy her life the way she wants & try not to interfere. Like if she's not supposed to have a certain food, but wants it...let her make that choice, she knows whats going on & maybe she just wants to live while she can however small a thing may seem, it may bring her more happiness than it would to everyone else that takes little things for granted, that's human nature. Just try & help her w/ tasks, be positive, loving, maybe read to her or ask her if there's anything at all she would like you to do or get for her that might help brighten her day a little. Be a good listener & just give her all the tenderness & love you can & cherish every second. Cancer really takes alot out of a person & it could even cause her to think & do things she wouldn't normally, so try to muster extra patience as well. Just love her any way you can, you can't go wrong w/ that. God Bless you all.

Well first you should see what kind of music he likes.My cousine was wounded in Iraq and there was little chance of him making it soo i sent him a Micheal Jackson song and he liked it and the good thing was he made it and he always sings that song now.Foo fighters have some songs that cheer me up so try looking at theres and if this dosn't help and you cant find a song try a movie or a book.

Play a Game with her! Get her mind off of her cancer. Play a card game, Checkers, something that you need to use your mind for. Pop a comedy into the DVD Player, etc. etc. There are lots you can do to make her laugh, challenge her mind, and lift her spirits.

I think that telling your grandma how much you love her is really important. You should not show you are stressed or sad about this situation. Try do something together,like watching a film,cook something and eat with her,or just talk with her.

I think the fact that you care and you show it through many ways is the 'mental support' that you are looking for... ;-)

I hope everything goes alright and she doesn't feel much pain.

Good luck

read her some encouraging verses from the bible..
